Note
Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
If halibut, turbot, or monkfish are unavailable, cod or sea bass can be used as substitutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the honey-mustard sauce.
Ensure the fish is fresh and firm to hold together on the skewers without breaking apart.
