Instructions
-
Step 1 Prepare the chimichurri
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside. (The chimichurri can be refrigerated for up to a week.)
-
Step 2 Assemble the kebabs
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill and oil the grates. Thread fish, red onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes onto 8 metal skewers*, alternating ingredients. Brush lightly on all sides with olive oil and season with salt.
-
Step 3 Grill the kebabs
Place kebabs on grill (as many as will fit at once without crowding) and close grill lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until fish is cooked through and vegetables are barely charred. Transfer to a platter.
-
Step 4 Serve
Drizzle kebabs with chimichurri sauce (or pass the sauce alongside) and serve immediately.
*Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to using to keep them from burning on the grill.
