Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used Private Reserve EVOO)
8 garlic cloves, divided (4 minced cloves and 4 sliced)
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 red pepper, cored, sliced
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cup water
Large handful fresh cilantro (about 1 cup fresh cilantro)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 tsp Ras El Hanout, divided
1 1/2 lb cod fillet pieces (about 1/2 inch in thickness)
3/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 lemon, sliced into thin rounds

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.

Modified version of a Jane Brody recipe. You can substitute sliced surimi sticks for the shrimp or scallops but, if you do so, do not add until salad has been dressed and tossed or the surimi will shred. Cooking (passive) time also includes chilling time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. This will ensure that your salad is as flavorful as possible.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood should be cooked just until it is opaque and tender. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your salad.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different types of dressings that can be used on a seafood salad. Try a vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a citrus-based dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Seafood salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Moroccan seafood and broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flavorful combination of seafood, vegetables, and dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
