6 servings
3 hours, 20 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 4 limes, for juice (+ more, optional for serving)
  • 4 (6 oz) firm white fish fillets (such as snapper, barramundi, or grouper; about 1 ½ lb)
  • 2 tablespoons ginger stir-in paste
  • 2 tablespoons garlic stir-in paste
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (or chili-garlic sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 12 (6-inch) wooden skewers
  • Red chili sauce (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Juice limes (¼ cup). Cut fish into 1-inch cubes (wash hands). Combine lime juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, and ¼ teaspoon salt in shallow dish until blended. Add fish; stir to coat. Let stand to marinate 30 minutes.
    2. Combine yogurt, sambal oelek, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in second shallow dish. Add fish to yogurt mixture; stir and let stand to marinate 1 hour (or chill up to 4 hours).
    3. Place oven rack 8 inches from heat source; preheat oven to broil on HIGH. Line baking sheet with foil. Skewer fish, letting excess marinade drip off; arrange skewers on baking sheet (wash hands). Broil fish 6–8 minutes until fish is browned, separates easily, and is 145°F. Serve with lime wedges and red chili sauce, if using.
