Preparation

Clean and fillet the fish, cut the fillets into pieces and then, using a cleaver, chop them, do not blend them, otherwise the meatballs will become mushy.
Cut half of the cherry tomatoes in half, and season them with oil, salt, pepper, and oregano, mix and set them aside.
Peel the shallot and slice it to obtain circles about 0.2 inches thick.
Prepare the seasoned breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, grated Pecorino Romano, chopped parsley, and garlic. Mix and divide it into 2 parts.
In half of the breadcrumbs, add the diced provolone, eggs, and fish mince. Mix.
Form meatballs about 0.8 inches in diameter and then roll them in the remaining breadcrumbs we set aside.
Now form the skewers by alternating meatballs with onion rings and halved cherry tomatoes until the skewer is complete.
Once you have completed all the skewers, roll them again in the remaining seasoned breadcrumbs we set aside.
At this point, you can either fry them in a pan or cook them in the oven, or in an air fryer.
In this case, the oven should be preheated to 356°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
If you want to cook them in an air fryer after preheating to 356°F (180°C)
Place the skewers in the basket with parchment paper, spray with a little oil, and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve them hot with arugula and shallot, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and oregano.
