Fish in a tagine is quick, light, and full of flavour. The fish is briefly marinated in olive oil and our Fish Mix, then placed on a layer of tomato, potato, and bell pepper. While everything gently simmers, the marinade seeps down into the vegetables, and the sauce naturally thickens and turns red. A slice of lemon and a chili pepper, that's all it needs. Salmon, cod, or sea bream, choose whatever your fishmonger has that day.

Ingredients

• 1 kg fish of your choice (salmon, cod, sea bream)
• 50 ml culinary olive oil
• 50 g Fish Mix
• 3 large tomatoes (400 g)
• 3 potatoes (300 g)
• 1 or 2 bell peppers

• red or green chilies for extra spice
• 50 g tomato paste
• 200 ml water

Preparation

1. Mix the Fish Mix with the olive oil to make a marinade.

3. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes, tomatoes, and bell pepper.
4. Pour a splash of olive oil into the tagine and place it on the heat. Arrange a layer of tomatoes on the bottom, followed by the potatoes and bell pepper.
5. Pour the marinade water over the vegetables and stir in the tomato paste.
6. Place the marinated fish on top of the vegetables. Garnish with lemon slices and chilies to taste.
7. Place the tagine with the lid on low heat and let it simmer for about 50 minutes, until the fish is cooked and the vegetables are soft.
8. Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce for a few more minutes.

Chef's Tip

Vary the vegetables with what you have at home: sweet potato, carrot, or fennel work just as well. For extra spice, simmer a whole red chili with it.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with fresh Moroccan bread to scoop up the sauce.
