1/2
pound boneless skinless halibut steak, about 1 inch thick

Preparation:
1.
Combine lemon juice, chili powder, garlic, cumin, cinnamon and cloves in large resealable food storage bag; knead until blended.
2.
Rinse fish; pat dry. Cut into 12 (1- to 1-1/4-inch-square) cubes. Add fish to bag. Press out air; seal. Turn gently to coat fish with marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour. Soak 12 (6- to 8-inch) bamboo skewers in water while fish marinates.

Alternately thread 2 pieces pineapple, 2 pieces pepper and 1 piece fish onto each skewer.

Spray cold grid with nonstick cooking spray. Adjust grid 4 to 6 inches above heat. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on grill. Cover, if possible (or tent with foil); grill 3 to 4 minutes or until grill marks appear on bottom. Turn skewers over; grill 3 to 4 minutes more or until fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with fork.
