Moroccan Spiced White Fish
- 1 to 2 pounds whole white fish
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Moroccan Spice mix, recipe follows
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Score the fish with a paring knife by making several 1-inch slits in the skin on each side, being careful not to cut in too deep.
- Put the fish on a dish and drizzle with the lemon juice and 1/2 of the oil.
- Press the garlic into the score marks.
- Rub the spice mix all over the inside and outside of the fish.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and allow it to marinate in the fridge for one hour.
- Heat a skillet large enough to hold the whole fish over high heat until it is almost smoking.
- Carefully pour the remaining oil into the pan and let it heat.
- Place the fish in the pan, sear it well on both sides, and then place it in the oven for about 7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
