- Thread the fish and vegetables alternately onto the skewers and lay them on a lined baking tray.
- Cook the skewers near the top of the oven, or on the barbecue, for 8–10 minutes. Turn them once, until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are coloured.
- Dice the tomatoes and chop the parsley. Mix them with the bulgur, the rest of the lemon juice and the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
