Cooking Methods

In a large airtight plastic bag or glass baking dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Remove and reserve 2 tbsp marinade.

Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into 12 cubes. Add the fish to the marinade and turn to coat. Seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the fish from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels. Discard this marinade.

Heat a large nonstick indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. Return the pan to the heat for 1 minute.

Lightly spray six 12-inch bamboo or wooden skewers with vegetable oil spray. For each kebab, thread a skewer with 1 cube tuna, 1 wedge bell pepper, 1 slice squash, 1 wedge onion, 1 cube pineapple and 1 tomato. Repeat. Baste with the 2 tbsp reserved marinade.

Grill the kebabs for 7-9 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to the desired doneness and the squash and bell peppers are tender-crisp, turning once.
