Ingredients
- 4 fillets of white fish such as cod or halibut
- 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup almonds sliced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 cup fish or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
- Cooked couscous or rice for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Dried Fruits & Nuts: Stir in the dried apricots, golden raisins, and cranberries. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the Fish: In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the fish fillets for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Combine & Simmer: Transfer the seared fish into the dried fruit sauce. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish occasionally.
- Serve & Garnish: Sprinkle with sliced almonds and fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve over couscous or rice for a complete meal.
