Moroccan Spiced Fish With Ginger Mash Recipes

BEST MOROCCAN FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pan with cover, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve) over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
• Add minced garlic and cook very briefly, tossing regularly, until fragrant. Add tomato paste, diced tomato, and bell peppers. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently.
• Now, add chickpeas, water, cilantro, and sliced garlic. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 tsp Ras El Hanout spice mixture. Raise heat, if needed, and bring to a boil. Lower heat. Cover part-way and let simmer for about 20 minutes. (Check occasionally and add a little water if needed.)
• Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine remaining Ras El Hanout with cumin and paprika. Season the fish with kosher salt and pepper and the spice mixture on both sides. Add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Work the fish to make sure it's well coated with the spices and the olive oil.
• When ready, add the season fish to the pan, and make sure to nestle the fish pieces into the saucy chickpea and tomato mixture. Ladle a bit of the sauce on top of the fish. Add lemon juice and lemon slices. Cook another 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low until the fish is fully cooked and flaky. Garnish with more fresh cilantro.
• Serve immediately with your favorite crusty bread, grain, or rice.

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to 3 to 4 inches below the broiling element.
• In a small bowl combine the garlic, oil, cumin, cinnamon, allspice and salt.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Rinse the fish and pat dry.
• With a sharp knife, trim white or grayish fat from skin side and edges of each fillet.
• Rub the top of fillets with the spice mixture, then arrange on a broiler pan.

• Serve with dollops of plain yogurt, wedges of lemon and chopped fresh cilantro, basil or mint, if you like.
