Halibut Kabobs with Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes
- 3 medium zucchini, rinsed and ends trimmed
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 2 pounds halibut or other meaty whitefish suitable for grilling
- 1 1/2 pints grape tomatoes, rinsed
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 package 6 or 8-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- Halve zucchini lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch slices.
- Pour about 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the zucchini and season generously with salt.
- Saute until zucchini starts to soften, but is not fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, cut the fish into 1-inch cubes for the kabobs and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the tomatoes and remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Toss until fish and tomatoes are well coated.
- Add zucchini once cooled.
- Assemble skewers and pour the remaining marinade over them.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Skewers can be left to marinate for 30 minutes but no longer than 1 1/2 hours since the lemon juice will start to "cook" the fish.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill skewers and baste with remaining marinade, turning once after several minutes on the first side, until fish is just cooked through but not flaking apart, about 7 to 9 minutes total.
- Serve immediately.
