Preparation and Cooking Steps
- 1
Marinate the Fish
In a bowl, combine harissa paste, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the branzino, including inside the cavity. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
