CHAR-GRILLED FISH KEBABS

This garlic marinade is great with all sorts of seafood, including fish fillets, prawns, octopus or squid, which can then just be barbecued or pan-fried without being skewered. The kebabs also make a delicious snack served as a wrap with flat bread, hummus and lettuce leaves.

METHOD

Cut Mackerel, Kingfish, Salmon and Bonito each into 12 equal-sized cubes and place in a large shallow bowl.

Make Garlic Marinade: whisk all ingredients together. Pour over fish and toss well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.

Place a piece of green onion onto a bamboo skewer and push it down towards the end, then thread on one piece of each fish, then another piece of green onion. Repeat with remaining fish and green onion to make 12 skewers.

Heat a barbecue or char-grill plate.

Cook kebabs for about a minute on each of 4 sides, until opaque. Pile onto a platter and serve.
