Fish Charmoula is a flavorful Moroccan BBQ dish that features fish marinated in a vibrant blend of herbs and spices. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout, offering a delightful mix of fresh ingredients and aromatic flavors.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 3 cloves
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Red chili flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cilantro, parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the charmoula marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the charmoula marinade over the fish, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
