Instructions
Creating this amazing Moroccan Fish Tagine is straightforward, and following these easy steps will guide you through the process:
1. Prep the Fish: Cut the fish fillets into large chunks and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large tagine or skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Incorporate the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Vegetables and Spices: Stir in the bell pepper, diced tomatoes, olives, and spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric). Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
4. Cook the Fish: Carefully nestle the fish pieces into the vegetable mix. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tagine from the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create a mesmerizing dish that resonates with warmth and flavor, ensuring a delightful dining experience!
