"This is an easy and flavorful fish dish that uses harissa, a spicy North African condiment. There is another similar recipe posted, but this one has a few added ingredients that might really change up the flavor. This is good served over couscous."

  • Heat half the olive oil in a heavy frying pan. Dust the fish fillets with seasoned flour and sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, harissa, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Return the fish to the pan, add the olives and cover the fish with the sauce. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick and continue cooking for 2 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
  • Add the lemon juice and parsley and serve.

  1. Loved the combination of cinnamon and harissa! As I had to make the dish one hour before serving, the flavours blended even more, and it was very intense. Really, really wonderful! Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for ZWT 9 / Morocco/Tunisia for The Apron String Travelers
