Fish

Chermoula

Garnish

Turnips

Method

Prepare the Chermoula

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Prepare the Fish

  1. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Rub the chermoula mixture all over the dorade, including inside the cavity. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Turnips

  1. 3

    Roast the Turnips

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced turnips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.

Grill the Fish

  1. 4

    Grill the Dorade

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated dorade on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plating

    Serve the grilled dorade on a platter with roasted turnips, a sprinkle of capers, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
