Moroccan Fish Tagine with Chermoula
Transport your senses to the coast of Morocco with this stunningly aromatic and healthy Moroccan Fish Tagine. Firm white fish fillets (like cod or halibut) are marinated in chermoula—a vibrant North African sauce of fresh cilantro, parsley, garlic, cumin, and paprika—then gently baked with slices of preserved lemon, green olives, and tomatoes. The fish steams to perfection in its own juices, absorbing the complex, briny, and citrusy flavors. This one-pot wonder is not only incredibly flavorful but also a beautiful, colorful centerpiece for a dinner party or a special family meal. Serve it directly from the tagine or baking dish with crusty bread or couscous to soak up every last drop of the incredible sauce.
