FAQs:
-
Can I use a different type of fish for this recipe? Yes, you can substitute with other firm fish like tuna or salmon.
-
Can I marinate the fish for a longer time? Yes, but avoid marinating for too long as the acidity from the lemon can alter the texture of the fish.
-
Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh? Absolutely, use a third of the amount as dried herbs are more concentrated.
-
Can I bake the skewers instead of grilling them? Yes, bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
-
Can I add other vegetables to the skewers? Certainly, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms would be great additions.
