Instead of grilling up fillets for your guests, make these delicious kabobs instead. With fresh avocado salsa, jalapenos and minced garlic they are definitely a crowd pleaser.
Prep time 20 minutes, Serves 8

2 pounds Alaska halibut, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 skewers
1 Tbsp. chili power
4 Tbsp. fat free Italian salad dressing
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed

Salsa:
1/2 avocado, medium dice
1 large tomato, medium dice
1/2 red onion, medium dice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, small dice
Juice of 1-2 limes
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

To prepare salsa:
Add half the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno pepper and onion to a mixing bowl. Add the avocado, tomato and cilantro; toss gently, trying not to mash the avocado. Taste, add more lime juice, salt and pepper as necessary. Hold aside, chilled.

Halibut Kabobs:
Mix the chili powder, salad dressing and crushed garlic in a bowl. Toss and lightly rub the Alaska halibut cubes with the chili mixture and let marinate, refrigerated, for 1-2 hours. Place 5-6 halibut cubes on each of the 8 skewers. Cook the kabobs on a lightly oiled, medium-hot grill, turning until the juices run clear (approximately 8-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish). Place 1 skewer on each of eight serving plates; remove the halibut cubes from the skewer. Divide the salsa among the eight plates and serve.
