Creating Moroccan Fish Tagine with Ginger & Saffron is both fun and fulfilling. Follow these steps to prepare this delightful dish:

1. Prepare the Tagine or Pan: If using a tagine, soak the lid in water for about 30 minutes before cooking. If a tagine is not available, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.

2. Heat the Oil: In your tagine or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

4. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

5. Stir in Spices: Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, paprika, ground ginger, and saffron into the mix. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

6. Add Tomatoes: Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly.

7. Place the Fish: Gently place the fish fillets atop the vegetable mixture. Make sure the fillets are nestled into the sauce.

8. Cover and Cook: If using a tagine, cover with the lid. If using a skillet, cover tightly with a lid. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20-30 minutes. The fish should be cooked through and flaky.

9. Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check if the fish flakes easily. If it is still too firm, re-cover and cook for a few more minutes.

10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot, along with lemon wedges for a citrusy kick.
