Pesto Halibut Kabobs

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 pounds halibut cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 medium red bell pepper de-seeded, de-ribbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • olive oil
  • 6 12-inch bamboo skewers or metal

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling, to prevent burning.
  • Preheat outdoor or indoor grill or oven broiler.
  • Place fish and bell pepper chunks in a shallow dish; drizzle with pesto and vinegar and toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes then alternately thread them onto each skewer; sprinkle evenly with salt.
  • Place skewers on a grilling rack (if using outdoor grill) or on a jelly-roll pan (if using broiler) coated with a little olive oil.
  • Grill/broil until kabobs reach desired degree of doneness, turning once.

Notes
