We couldn't believe how outrageously yummy these halibut skewers are. Crusty Italian bread and halibut are seasoned with fresh rosemary, then woven with pancetta and grilled until golden.

 

Ingredients


  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1-1/2 pounds boned and skinned halibut, cut into 2-in. chunks

  • 4 cups 1-1/2-in. cubes crusty bread, such as ciabatta

  • 3 ounces pancetta, sliced paper-thin

Instructions


1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium heat (350° to 450°; you can hold your hand 5 inches above cooking grate only 5 to 7 seconds).


2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add halibut and bread. Toss to coat, then set aside 5 minutes.


3. Skewer an end of 1 strip pancetta, then alternate fish and bread cubes on the skewer*, weaving pancetta between them. Repeat 3 times.


4. Grill kebabs, turning frequently, until fish is cooked through and bread is charred in places, about 6 minutes.


*You will need 4 metal skewers, each 10 in. long, for the kebabs.
