Fish is not always the easiest to incorporate into a recipe, but does fantastically well in this citrus fish skewers recipe. It is a hearty and nutritious meal, but the citrus flavor adds a certain tang and uniqueness that is unforgettable.

Besides the fish fillets that the recipe calls for, you will also be using an array of other healthful ingredients. This includes oranges, grapefruit and lemon rind. The best thing about this recipe is that you can prepare it and serve it any time of day, either breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 450 g firm white fish fillets
• 450 g thick salmon fillet
• 2 large oranges
• 1 pink grapefruit
• 1 bunch fresh bay leaves
• 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp clear honey
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• salt and pepper
• crusty bread and mixed salad, to serve

1. Skin the white fish and the salmon, rinse and pat dry on absorbent kitchen paper. Cut each fillet into 16 pieces.
2. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and pith from the oranges and grapefruit. Cut out the segments of flesh, removing all remaining traces of the pith and dividing membrane.
3. Thread the pieces of fish alternately with the orange and grapefruit segments and the bay leaves on to 8 skewers. Place the kebabs in a shallow dish.
4. Mix together the lemon rind and juice, the honey and garlic. Pour over the fish kebabs and season well. Cover and chill for 2 hours, turning occasionally.



5. Preheat the grill to medium. Remove the skewers from the marinade and place on the rack. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.
6. Drain, transfer to serving plates and serve with crusty bread and a fresh salad.

“The dish makes an unusual starter. Try it with any firm fish - cod, monk fish, swordfish, for example - or with tuna for a meatier texture”.
