ingredients

• 8 teaspoons ground cumin, to taste
• 4 small onions, pureed
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 4 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 small mild-flavoured fish or (4 ounce) fillets (such as flounder, orange roughy, catfish or grouper)

directions

1. Prepare grill.
2. Soak eight or 12 8-inch wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl or cup, mix cumin with onion purée and a little lemon juice to make a paste.
4. Add more juice as needed.
5. Stir in oil.
6. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.
7. If using whole fish, cut a few deep slashes in the sides to allow the seasonings in and to speed cooking.
8. Rub a little of the seasoning mixture on the whole fish, inside and out, or on both fillet sides.
9. Thread fish on skewers (use an in-and-out"basting stitch") and grill over hot coals for about five minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
10. The fish should still be moist.
11. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

Cumin and lemon juice give this fish a tremendous burst of flavor. Next time I'd add a little salt. Or consider sprinkling with salt after it's finished cooking.
