Moroccan Sea Bass

2 servings

30 minutes

Moroccan-style sea bass is a culinary journey into the world of aromas and spices. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional Moroccan cuisine, known for its rich spices and harmony of flavors. The combination of fresh ginger, garlic, cilantro, and lemon juice gives the fish a spiciness and a light tanginess, while cumin and lemongrass add Eastern notes. The fish is first marinated in a spicy paste and then grilled to achieve an appetizing golden crust and tender texture. This dish is perfect for those who appreciate balanced, rich aromas and love the combination of spices with the lightness of seafood.
