Preparation

Cut fish fillets into strips about 1 x 5 in (3 x 10 cm); roll up and thread on skewers, along with other seafood and vegetables.

Marinade kebobs for at least 2 hours in mixture of oil, lemon juice, green onions and tarragon.

Lemon Sauce

Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to make a smooth paste; blend in milk, stirring constantly. Cook until thick and bubbly. Add mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice and rind. Heat through. Sprinkle with parsley.

Broil or barbecue kebobs about 3 min on each side, basting frequently with marinade.
