Mahi-Mahi Skewers with Tapenade and Couscous

This Mediterranean-inspired dish of mahi-mahi skewers with tapenade and couscous offers a sophisticated balance of flavours with very little preparation. The firm, meaty texture of the mahi-mahi stands up beautifully to the grill, while a vibrant tapenade and lemon dressing provides a salty, citrusy punch. By using shop-bought ingredients like tapenade and pico de gallo, you can achieve a complex, professional-tasting result in less than thirty minutes.

As a high-protein meal, this recipe is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek dinner or a light weekend lunch. The couscous provides a delicate base that absorbs the juices from the fish, making every bite satisfying and wholesome. For a complete garden-to-table feel, serve the skewers with a simple side of steamed green beans or a crisp green salad.

Ingredients for Mahi-Mahi Skewers with Tapenade and Couscous

  • 240ml plain couscous (about 170g )

  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided

  • 80ml purchased tapenade

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 450g mahi-mahi fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 240ml purchased pico de gallo, drained

  • Metal skewers

Preheat grill. Bring 240ml plus 2 tablespoons water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Stir in couscous and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until water is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir tapenade, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt in small bowl to blend. Transfer 230ml tapenade mixture to another small bowl and reserve for couscous.

Thread fish pieces onto 4 metal skewers; arrange on grill tray. Brush fish on both sides with remaining tapenade mixture. Grill fish until just opaque in centre, about 4 minutes per side.

Fluff couscous with fork. Gently stir in reserved tapenade mixture. Stir in pico de gallo or serve it alongside. Mound couscous on plates. Top with fish skewers.
