Nutritional values

This nutritious fish fillet brings a concentrated dose of iodine and protein, while the spices provide cell-protecting plant substances, and the fresh limes contain plenty of vitamin C.

The spice mix in this recipe is a classic Moroccan seasoning called Chermoula. If you have time, let the skewers sit overnight in this mix. This will make the skewers even more delicious when you grill them the next day!
