Moroccan Fish Tagine image

This delicious healthy dish common to North Africa, particularly Morocco, is one of my favorites when entertaining guests. The wonderful spices blended with fresh vegetables and fish is a crowd pleaser. The fish is marinated in a chermoula sauce to soak up all the wonderful spices prior to cooking. This dish is prepared in a traditional method in a ceramic tagine, but can be prepared in a heavy lidded pot. This dish as it cooks emits some of the most wonderful smells throughout the house. Serve with couscous or rice and crusty bread to mop up all the wonderful sauce!

½ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ lemon, juiced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground saffron
1 ½ pounds cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large green bell pepper, sliced into rings
3 tomatoes, seeded and cut into strips

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, ginger, cumin, salt, and saffron in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add cod and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
