ingredients
- 1lb 2oz thick white fish fillet (cod, halibut, or whitefish), skinned
- juice of 2 limes
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 3 tbsp chopped dill
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 scallions
- 2 red and 1 yellow bell pepper
For the dip
- 7oz/1cup fat free natural yogurt
- 1 level tbsp green pesto
- 1 plum tomato, finely chopped
- 2oz finely chopped basil leaves
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
To serve
- mixed lettuce leaves
- lime wedges
- dill sprigs (optional)
method
- Cut the fish into bite-size pieces and place in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the lime juice, garlic, and dill and add to the fish. Add seasoning and toss to coat evenly. Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the scallions into 2¼-in/6-cm lengths. Deseed and cut the bell peppers into bite-size pieces.
- Make the dip by mixing together all the ingredients in a bowl. Season and chill until ready to serve.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the fish, scallions, and bell peppers alternately onto 8 metal or presoaked bamboo skewers. Cook the skewers over the grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are just tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the seafood skewers with mixed lettuce leaves and the basil and tomato dip. Garnish with lime wedges and dill if desired.
