1 lb salmon fillet

1/2 lb scallops

2 onions, quartered

2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch cubes

12 cherry tomatoes

20 skewers

MARINADE:

2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp oil


Directions:

To make the marinade, grind the cumin seeds to a powder. Add the garlic and grind to a paste. Add the turmeric, pepper, lemon juice and oil.

Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch cubes. Combine with the marinade and toss well. Thread the fish pieces, scallops, cubed zucchini, cherry tomatoes and onion quarters on the skewers and set aside for 30 minutes.

In a saucepan, bring the remaining marinade to a simmer and cook for a few minutes. Set aside for use as a basting sauce.


Place the skewers over a high heat grill for about 5-7 minutes. If they begin to cook too quickly, move to medium heat. Turn and baste with leftover marinade a few times until done.
