A flavorful Moroccan Fish Tagine made with white fish fillets, spices, and olives, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the drained diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and honey to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Gently nestle the fish fillets into the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Stir in the sliced olives and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the tagine hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
Notes
- For added texture, consider adding chopped bell peppers or zucchini to the sauce during the cooking process.
- Serve the tagine over couscous or rice to soak up the delicious sauce, or pair it with crusty bread for dipping.
