Poisson Aux Epices Fish With Spices Recipes

MOROCCAN BAKED FISH WITH POTATOES, PEPPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Combine garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika and saffron in a dish big enough for the fish. Mix vinegar, lemon juice and tomato paste in a small bowl. Add to dish and mix. Place fillets in the dish, turning to coat them, cover and set aside to marinate 2 hours at room temperature, 3 hours if refrigerated.
• Place potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Drain.
• Brush a baking dish that can go to the table and will hold the fish in a single layer with a little of the oil. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread potatoes in the dish, season with salt and pepper, and place fish fillets on top. Scatter peppers and tomatoes over fish. Add a little more salt and pepper. Spoon any excess marinade over fish, strew with olives, drizzle with remaining oil and bake about 30 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.

POISSON AUX EPICES (FISH WITH SPICES)

Steps:

• Cut off the heads of the fish and neatly trim the end of each tail.
• Select a heat-proof oval baking dish large enough to accommodate both fish. Do not add the fish. Select six pieces of bamboo (cut-off chopsticks may be used). Arrange them crosswise, evenly spaced, over the bottom of the baking dish to support the fish and prevent them from laying directly on the bottom of the dish.
• Add the oil, water, ginger, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cayenne and salt. Bring to the boil on top of the stove.
• Arrange the fish in the dish. Baste the fish for about three minutes with the simmering sauce.
• Cover closely with foil and continue cooking 20 minutes. Uncover and add the butter and lemon juice. Continue cooking 10 minutes and sprinkle the parsley on top of each fish. Arrange the lemon and tomato slices on the fish and baste with the sauce. Serve.
