Ingredients: Fresh, Flavorful, and Versatile

For the Marinade:

• 4 fillets of firm white fish (e.g., cod, halibut, or sea bass)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika for extra depth)
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Tagine Base:

• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 large bell peppers (red and green), sliced into strips
• 1 cup pitted green or black olives
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced into rounds
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley and cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
• Lemon slices for garnish

Preparation: Step-by-Step Guide to Perfection

– Marinate the Fish

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Coat the fish fillets thoroughly and let them marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

– Prepare the Tagine Base

1. In a traditional tagine or a large skillet, drizzle olive oil and layer the potato slices evenly at the bottom.
2. Add a layer of onion slices, followed by bell peppers and tomatoes. Sprinkle with half the parsley-cilantro mixture and season with coriander, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

– Assemble the Tagine

1. Place the marinated fish fillets on top of the vegetables. Scatter olives around the fish and pour the remaining marinade and vegetable broth over the dish.
2. Cover the tagine with its lid (or use foil if using a skillet) and cook on medium-low heat for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the fish is flaky.

– Serve and Garnish

Remove the lid and garnish with lemon slices and the remaining parsley-cilantro mix. Serve hot with crusty bread or fluffy couscous to soak up the flavorful sauce.
