Ingredients

For the fish and sauce, you will need:
  • 4-6 white fish fillets (such as snapper or cod)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the rice, you will need:
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan
  • Small pot with lid
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

1. Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for a few minutes until it starts to soften. 3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. 4. Add the can of diced tomatoes and all of the spices (paprika, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper). Stir to combine. 5. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 6. Add the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover the skillet and let the fish cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through. 7. While the fish is cooking, prepare the rice. Rinse the basmati rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice, water, and salt to a small pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. 8. When the fish is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and cilantro over the fish and sauce. 9. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley and cilantro. 10. Serve the fish and sauce over a bed of rice.

Notes

This dish is best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat the fish and rice separately in the microwave or on the stovetop.
