1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Fish Kebabs with Zucchini, Muschrooms, and Cherry Tomatoes
Makes 2 servings
The secret to this recipe is to precook the vegetables (except the tomatoes) so that they’re done when the fish is cooked. You will need two long or several short skewers to make the kebabs.
Marinade
1 garlic clove, finely minced
Small handful of cilantro leaves, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon low–sodium soy sauce (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 5– to 6–ounce white fish fillets, cut into bite-size chunks
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 red or green bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, cut into bite–size chunks
1/2 onion, quartered and separated
8 white button mushrooms
8 cherry tomatoes
1 cup whole–grain couscous, prepared according to instructions on the box
1 lemon, quartered
1. To make the marinade, combine the garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, oil, and soy sauce, if using, in a large shallow bowl and whisk together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the fish and let it marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours, turning once.
2. If you are planning to broil your kebabs, preheat the broiler to 500°F.
3. To prepare the vegetables, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, onion and mushrooms and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly tender but not fully cooked.
4. To assemble, thread a tomato, pepper, zucchini, mushroom, and onion piece onto each skewer. Fold over a piece of fish and thread it on. Repeat until the skewer is full.
5. If you do not have a grill, broil the kebabs on a broiler rack or cookie sheet for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.
6. Serve kebabs on top of hot, freshly made couscous, garnished with a wedge of lemon.
