Pesto Halibut Kebabs

This HIGH PROTEIN dish will help repair and rebuild muscles.

If you can't find fresh halibut, substitute another mild, firm white fish. Serve this dish with couscous tossed with toasted sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and chopped fresh parsley.

Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 skewer and 1 lemon wedge)

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds halibut, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Place fish and bell pepper in a shallow dish. Drizzle pesto and vinegar over fish mixture; toss to coat. Let fish mixture stand 5 minutes.

Thread fish and pepper alternately onto each of 4 (12-inch) skewers; sprinkle evenly with salt. Place skewers on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 8 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning once.
