Sesame Halibut Kebabs

Seafood alternatives: swordfish, shark, tuna, mahi-mahi

A mound of hot steamed rice sprinkled lightly with soy sauce or seasoned rice vinegar rounds out this meal nicely.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds halibut steak, about 1 inch thick
• 1 or 2 large bell peppers (any color), cored and seeded
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tsp. Oriental sesame oil
• 1 tsp. minced or grated fresh ginger
• 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions:

Rinse halibut in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the skin and bone and cut the halibut into 3/4- to 1-inch cubes. Cut pepper into 3/4- 1-inch squares. Thread the fish and pepper pieces alternately onto 4 large or 8 medium skewers (double up pepper pieces if using 2 peppers). Preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Brush the basting sauce generously over the skewers, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Arrange the skewers on a broiling pan or a rimmed baking sheet. Broil the skewers 2 to 4 inches from the heat about 3 minutes. Turn skewers over and broil until fish is just slightly translucent in the center, about 1 minute more. (To test, cut into center of fish cubes on a least 2 or 3 different skewers.)
