Fish Tagine With Chermoula image

A really delicious fish dish that makes the most incredible sauce in the world. Absolutely incredible served with couscous--just as recommended by the book, Moosewood Low-Fat Favorites. Light and so, so good.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs swordfish (halibut also works nicely)
1 onion, sliced thin
1 carrot, sliced thin
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
10 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons gingerroot, fresh, grated
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed (6-8 lemons)
1 chile, minced, seeds removed
2 tomatoes, chopped (I like to use large heirlooms)
1/2 teaspoon salt (more, to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Rinse fish and set aside. Prepare a nonreactive dish with cooking spray.
  • Arrange carrots and onions in dish and lay fish directly on top. Sprinkle them lightly with salt.
  • Combine cilantro, garlic, ginger, cumin, lemon juice, chile and half of the chopped tomatoes into a food processor and puree to form a sauce that is smooth. Add salt to taste.
  • Pour the sauce over the fish and veggies and top with the remaining tomatoes.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve on top of couscous. Enjoy!
