Fish Skewers with Couscous and Vegetables

It's only the first day of my so-called "diet" but can you notice the change of my eating habits already? Can you?! I sure can... Who else eats fish twice a day?! Well, I didn't exactly plan for this to happen, but we had lot's of fish in the fridge so I decided to use it up rather than waiting for tomorrow~




Ingredients

(serves 4)

• 6 filets of fish (flounder is the fish I used)
• ready made pesto
• 1 large zucchini
• 2 red peppers
• salt
• freshly ground pepper
• olive oil
• wooden skewers

Preparation

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/2cm thick stripes. In a large frying pan heat some olive oil on high heat. Place the zucchinis into the hot pan and fry each side for 3 minutes or until soft. Take away from heat and allow to cool down.

Preheat oven to 250°C!

Cut each fish filet into half. Then divide each half into 4-5 pieces. Sprinkle a few pinches of salt onto each side of the fish and grind some pepper too.

Now, use your hands to skewer the zucchini and fish onto your wooden skewers as shown in the picture below.

Note: You could also just cut your zucchini into bite sized pieces... That would probably be easier~ PLUS you wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of frying the zucchini to soften it! 

Cut your pepper into 3-4cm pieces and skewer them like this: fish-pepper-fish-pepper etc. easy?

Place all skewers into a large pan. Grab some pesto from the fridge and spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto onto each skewer. Then bake your babies in the preheated oven for only 8-10 minutes! Voilà!

Serve with pasta, rice or potatoes! I chose to make couscous salad... I just love couscous to death!
