Cooking Fish Blue-eye cod with chermoula and roasted pumpkin

For a complete week night meal, this spicy fish is accompanied by sweet and crispy pumpkin wedges.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  3. Meanwhile, to make chermoula place coriander, garlic, paprika, cumin, chilli, lemon juice and remaining oil in a food processor. Process until a smooth paste, adding a little warm water if necessary.

When hot, lift the fish from the marinade, place in the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side or until just cooked through. To serve, place some couscous on each plate, and top with a piece of roasted pumpkin and a piece of fish. Garnish with mint leaves.
