This recipe combines tender white fish marinated in a fragrant chermoula sauce with the sweetness of roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach for a well-rounded, nutritious meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped coriander leaves, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, lime juice, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a dash of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce.
Place the white fish fillets on a large plate or shallow dish. Pour the chermoula marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the fish is marinating, place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.
Roast the cherry tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
After the tomatoes have been in the oven for about 10 minutes, place the marinated fish fillets on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish. Transfer the fish into the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish and tomatoes are roasting, lightly wilt the spinach. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small splash of olive oil. Add the spinach leaves, a handful at a time, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Once everything is cooked, plate the wilted spinach as a bed on each serving plate. Place the roasted fish fillets on top of the spinach, and then spoon the roasted cherry tomatoes over the fish.
Serve immediately, garnishing with extra chopped coriander leaves if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Chermoula Fish Fillets with Roast Tomatoes!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or halibut for the best texture and taste.
- Allow the fish to marinate in the chermoula sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Roast the cherry tomatoes until they are slightly blistered and starting to caramelize for the best flavor.
- Serve the dish with a side of quinoa, couscous, or rice to make it a more filling meal.
- Don’t overcook the fish; it should flake easily with a fork when done.
- You can add a drizzle of additional olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice over the dish just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
This Chermoula fish fillets with roast tomatoes recipe is an easy and flavorful way to enjoy a healthy dinner. The marinated fish, infused with spices and lime, pairs perfectly with the sweet, juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation.
