Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine the 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the 1.5 lb fish into 1.5-inch cubes and toss with the chermoula in a bowl. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Thread the fish onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot with extra lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
