Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cod fish fillets (also works with skinless) or 4 halibut fillets, skin left on (also works with skinless)
salt
1 lb new potato
1/2 lb tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup chopped cilantro
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Slash the skin of the fish in a few places across the thickest part. This ensures that the fish does not curl, and cooks evenly. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Mix all the chermoula ingredients in a dish, and marinate the fish in half the quantity for about 30 minutes.
  • Slice the potatoes about 1/4 inch thick, and the tomatoes about 1/3 inch thick. Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a baking dish, put in the potatoes and tomatoes, and drizzle a bit more oil on top. Sprinkle with salt, then turn the vegetables so they are well seasoned and lightly coated with oil. Put the dish in a preheated 475ËšF oven for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Turn the vegetables over once during cooking.
  • Remove the vegetables from the oven and place the cod fillets (skin up) on top; place the dish back in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes more, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Just before serving, pour the remaining half of the chermoula over the fish, letting it dribble onto the vegetables.
