Description

These skewers are too awesome for words! The rosemary skewers perfume the halibut while prosciutto keeps it nice and moist! Chunks of bread make this a nice, hearty meal.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Fresh Halibut
  • 1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Rosemary
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 12 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 4 slices Ciabatta Bread
  • 6 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation

Preheat your bbq to medium heat. (If you don’t have a bbq, you can use a grill pan on the stove top or roast in a 450-degree oven.)

Cut the halibut into equal-sized 1 inch cubes. In a big mixing bowl, gently toss the halibut cubes with half of the rosemary, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt until the fish is evenly coated. In a separate bowl, combine the ciabatta bread chunks with the remaining rosemary and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss until also well coated.

Carefully strip the rosemary leaves off of the sprigs, leaving a tuft of leaves on the top.

Lay out a slice of prosiutto on a flat surface and cut into quarters (cut once lengthwise and once widthwise). Take one of the strips and wrap it around a cube of halibut. Place seam-side down onto your cutting board until you’re ready to skewer. Continue working with the remaining prosciutto slices and halibut chunks until they’re all wrapped. Use a bamboo skewer to “pre-drill” the holes in your halibut cubes and bread. Once the holes are drilled, you can thread the pieces onto the rosemary skewers, alternating between the fish and bread chunks. Finish each skewer with a cherry tomato.

Grill on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Flip the skewers halfway through cooking. To check for doneness, cut into one of the halibut pieces to make sure it’s cooked through. It should be solid white throughout.

I love to drizzle a little bit of balsamic vinegar on top of the skewers before serving, but that’s partially because I’m a balsamic-addict.

Made these tonight- absolutely delicious! Our cook time was a little different and we had to do what we could about not having rosemary to skewer the food on, but it still came out delicious!

We made due with bamboo skewers and adding rosemary where we could. So very delicious, great recipe!! Monitor them on the grill — ours ran a little high so the cook time was a little less.

I made these a few months back when my lil’ sis was in town. Since I have an ample supply of rosemary on my hill I had some nice skewers available.
This was so yummy I repeated it for my bro in law later in the week. This time I used scallops and they were mucho bueano!!!
Good stuff!!!
