Grapefruit Chermoula Recipes

CHERMOULA

Chermoula is a pungent Moroccan herb sauce traditionally served with grilled fish. I think it's great with all sorts of other dishes, such as roasted cauliflower, roasted winter squash or chicken. Sometimes I stir a little into a couscous, too.

Steps:

Coarsely chop the cilantro and parsley. A scissors is a good tool for this; point it tip down in the measuring cup and cut the leaves. Then place them in a food processor and chop very fine, or chop on a cutting board. You should have 1 cup finely chopped herbs.
Place the garlic and salt in a mortar and puree. Add a small handful of the chopped herbs, and gently but firmly grind until the herbs begin to dissolve. Add another handful. When all of the herbs have been mashed, work in the spices, 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more olive oil or salt if desired. Serve with grilled fish and/or vegetables, or with chicken.

BROILED FISH WITH CHERMOULA

In Morocco, chermoula is traditionally used as a marinade for grilled fish. You've used the Moroccan herb and spice blend, chermoula in all sorts of dishes, but not the way it is traditionally used in Morocco, as a marinade and sauce for fish (usually grilled). When you make the chermoula, you can do it as the recipe instructs, in a food processor, or as the Moroccans do, finely chopping all of the herbs. You can also use a mortar and pestle. If you want to you can thin it out with more oil or lemon juice. If the sauce is thick, you can just spread it over the fish with a spatula, like a rub, and let the fish marinate. It is unbelievably delicious and easy. This recipe is for fillets, but you can also use the marinade with a whole fish. I like to use the broiler for this because the juices accumulate on the foil-lined baking sheet and they are delicious poured over the fish. But grilling is traditional.

Broiled Fish With Chermoula image

Steps:

Season the fish with salt and pepper. In a large baking dish combine the fish with half the chermoula and toss together until the fish is coated. If the chermoula is thick it may be easier to spread it onto the fish with a spatula. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes while you preheat the broiler or prepare a grill.
If using a broiler, line a sheet pan with foil and brush the foil with olive oil, or oil a shallow baking dish. Place the fish in the pan in a single layer. If desired drizzle on a little more olive oil or lemon juice. Place under the broiler, close to the heat (about 2 1/2 inches below) and broil 5 minutes. Check the fish; the timing depends on how thick the fillets are; figure on 4 to 5 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness. It is done when it is opaque and you can pull it apart with a fork. Using a spatula, transfer the fish from the sheet pan or baking dish to a platter or to individual plates. Tip the juices in the pan over the fish fillets. Pass the remaining chermoula and lemon wedges at the table.

Cut the grapefruit into sections by first cutting off the top and bottom of the grapefruit to expose the flesh. On a cutting board, stand the grapefruit on one of the cut ends then using a sharp knife cut off all the peel down to the flesh, following the curves of the sides. Holding the peeled grapefruit over a bowl, cut between the membranes to release segments into bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into the bowl then discard membranes. Coarsely chop segments into large chunks; return to bowl.
To make the chermoula, measure out 2 tablespoons of grapefruit juice and put into second bowl. Add all the other ingredients except the salmon. Stir to combine. Stir in half the grapefruit segments (leaving any excess juice in grapefruit bowl). Measure out 1/2 cup of the grapefruit mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add salmon fillets to bag, seal bag (removing any excess air), and marinate salmon in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, add remaining grapefruit segments to the remaining chermoula mixture (leaving any excess juice in grapefruit bowl). You can save the extra juice for another use or just drink it as you finish the recipe.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove salmon fillets from marinade and place on a lightly oiled, foil lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast salmon in oven for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Serve salmon topped with grapefruit chermoula.
