About

Seafood is a staple in the Mediterranean, and while you would enjoy the simplicity of a classic salt and pepper fish dish, you’ll love the richness and complexity of a Moroccan-style bowl of flavor like this one. Tender halibut skewers are marinated in spicy harissa, served over a bed of warm bulgur, a sweet orange salad, and drizzled with chermoula, which is a zesty blend of fresh herbs, garlic, ginger, lemon, and warm spices. Each bite is layered with freshness, heat, and depth.
