Grilled Halibut Kebabs with Crispy Bread and Pancetta – A Flavorful Summer Delight


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds halibut fillet, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
8 slices pancetta, thinly sliced
1 small loaf crusty bread (like ciabatta), cut into cubes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or rosemary)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)
Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

  • Marinate the Halibut:

    • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper.

    • Add halibut cubes and toss gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.

  • Prepare the Skewers:

    • Thread halibut cubes onto skewers, alternating with pancetta slices (folded) and bread cubes.

    • Brush bread lightly with olive oil to help crisp when grilled.

  • Grill the Kebabs:

    • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.

    • Grill kebabs for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning until fish is opaque and firm, bread is golden, and pancetta is crisp.

 

  • Serve:

    • Remove from grill and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
