Poisson Aux Epices Fish With Spices Recipes

SAYADIEH

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat and fry the chopped onions until lightly golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
• Rinse the rice, then transfer to the pot of onions. Season with salt, pepper, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon and ginger. Toss well to combine and toast the rice lightly with the spices, about 5 minutes.
• Add 4 cups water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook covered until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Allow the rice to rest in the pot for about 5 minutes, without opening the lid, to absorb all the liquid and steam.
• While the rice is cooking, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Fry on a skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, working in two batches to avoid over-crowding the skillet.
• Serve the cooked fish broken up in chunks or whole on top of the rice mixture. Add toasted almond and parsley on top.

POISSON AUX EPICES (FISH WITH SPICES)

Steps:

• Cut off the heads of the fish and neatly trim the end of each tail.
• Select a heat-proof oval baking dish large enough to accommodate both fish. Do not add the fish. Select six pieces of bamboo (cut-off chopsticks may be used). Arrange them crosswise, evenly spaced, over the bottom of the baking dish to support the fish and prevent them from laying directly on the bottom of the dish.
• Add the oil, water, ginger, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cayenne and salt. Bring to the boil on top of the stove.
• Arrange the fish in the dish. Baste the fish for about three minutes with the simmering sauce.
• Cover closely with foil and continue cooking 20 minutes. Uncover and add the butter and lemon juice. Continue cooking 10 minutes and sprinkle the parsley on top of each fish. Arrange the lemon and tomato slices on the fish and baste with the sauce. Serve.
