Chermoula Fish Pizza offers a delightful fusion of Moroccan flavors and a low-carb twist on traditional pizza. The aromatic chermoula marinade elevates the fish, making this dish both healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Fish fillets (white fish like cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Zucchini - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chopped cilantro, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the chermoula marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, coating them well. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
4. While the fish is marinating, prepare the zucchini by slicing it thinly to create a 'pizza crust.' Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to soften them slightly.
6. Remove the zucchini from the oven and arrange the marinated fish fillets on top of the zucchini slices.
7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and halved cherry tomatoes over the fish.
8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
