Zubereitung von Fish With Chermoula
- **Prepare the Chermoula Sauce:**
- Steep 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads in 2 teaspoons very hot water. Cover tightly and let steep for at least 20 minutes, or preferably 2 hours.
- In a mortar and pestle, combine 4 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mash into a smooth paste.
- Transfer the paste to a jar. Stir in the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Seal the jar and shake vigorously to emulsify the sauce.
- Adjust salt to taste. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the chermoula for marinating the fish.
- Stir the saffron water into the remaining chermoula sauce. Set aside. Refrigerate if not using within 1 hour; remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to bring to room temperature.
- **Cook the Fish:**
- Arrange 4 (6-ounce) fish fillets in a single layer in a non-reactive pan.
- Season both sides of the fish lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Spoon 2 teaspoons of the reserved chermoula marinade over each side of the fish fillets.
- Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your broiler on high. Position an oven rack so the surface of the broiler pan is about 6 inches from the heat.
- Line a broiler pan with foil.
- Place the fish on the prepared broiler pan.
- Broil the fish for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through but still slightly moist. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish and your desired level of doneness.
- Transfer the fish to a serving platter.
- Spoon some of the chermoula sauce over the fish. Serve immediately with remaining sauce on the side.
- **Wine Pairing Suggestion:** Sauvignon Blanc
