    Moroccan Fish

    One of the principal mixtures which give a distinctive flavour to Moroccan savoury cooking is chermoula, a blend of spices, herbs, onion, lemon juice and oil. It works well with meats and fish, as it does in this recipe. The quantities of spices given are good for most purposes but it’s a good idea to adjust to your own taste after you’ve tried it the first time.
