Hi this is Alia And welcome back to cooking with Alia
To show you the flavours of morocco
And today, we still have my aunt Nadia
She is going to show us amazing amazing Moroccan Dishes
We are going to make a Moroccan fish Baked in the oven with Charmoula
And charmoula, you can actually make it and put in the fridge
You can make a lot of Quantities and put in the fridge for a week
And use it on the fish every time you need it
So it is very easy
Nice, it is going to be amazing! I love it!
Let's start
We are using a whole fish
of course the inside of it is cleaned up and the fish scales are scraped
Also make sure the eye of the fish is removed as it adds a little bitter taste of the dish
Make a deep cut in each side of the fish.
Use the sharp pointy edge of the knife to stab the inside of the fish, so the marinade gets inside.
Place all the charmoula ingredients in a blender and mix until well integrated.
You should get a smooth thick marinade.
Place the fish in a baking pan.
Take ½ of the charmoula marinade and pour all over the fish.
Make sure that the fish is completely covered with the marinade.
SO we are going to prepare the Tomato Sauce
Cut the tomatoes in half.
Grate the inside part of the tomatoes using the large “eyes” of the grater. Discard the tomato skin.
Mix the grated tomatoes with the rest of the charmoula.
Pour the tomato mixture around the fish.
Slice the lemon and tomato into thin slices.
Place the slices on top of the fish (alternating between a tomato slice and a lemon slice).
Pour whatever is left from the charmoula on top of the tomato and lemon slices.
Preheat the oven to 360 F / 180 C.
Place the fish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until done
you can test the fish meat, it should be cooked and soft). Do not overbake or the fish will become dry.
Serve immediately. Bon appetit!
