Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced garlic and onion (1 clove minced, 1/4 onion diced); sauté until fragrant, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in cumin and paprika, then add canned tomatoes with their juice and olives and preserved lemon.

  4. Step 4

    Nestle fish fillets into the sauce. Simmer uncovered until fish is opaque and flakes easily, 8–10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter cilantro over the top and serve straight from the pan with crusty bread or couscous.
