Why is it that the simplest dishes are often the ones that are the most complicated to get right? ⁣
⁣
Whole Fish Roasted in Chermoula is one of those dishes for me.  The ingredients are simple, the preparation (although somewhat time consuming) is simple and yet - it never quite tastes the same as it does in Morocco.⁣
⁣
Over the weekend I shared a recipe for this iconic Moroccan dish.  While I will not say it compares to the versions I’ve had in Morocco - it’s my best version yet.⁣
⁣
I used branzino or Mediterranean sea bass which cooked beautifully on top of potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and peppers. ⁣
⁣
You can see it come together in the photos above along with a final photo of a version I had in Fes, Morocco a few years back that is my gold standard of what I strive for this dish to be.⁣
⁣
If you haven’t already check out the video and recipe.  And, if you’ve never tasted fish in chermoula, a marinade of herbs, spices and olive oil - it is in one word, exquisite.⁣
⁣
Hope you enjoy.  B’Saha & Bon Appétit!⁣
