Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp ground cumin
  2. 1 tbsp ground coriander
  3. 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  4. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  5. 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  6. Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  7. ½ cup fresh coriander, finely chopped
  8. ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  9. ⅓ cup olive oil
  10. Salt & pepper to taste
  11. 1 x kingfish fillet
  12. 1 tbsp olive oil (for pan frying)
  13. 400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed
  14. 1 red capsicum, finely diced
  15. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  16. 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  17. ½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
  18. Salt & pepper to taste
  19. 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Method

  1. For the chermoula, place all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Add the kingfish to the chermoula and toss to coat well. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  4. Place 1/2 cup of mixed beans in a food processor and whiz until smooth. Add the bean puree to the saucepan with the capsicum, chicken stock, and remaining beans. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Keep warm.
  5. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a frypan over medium heat. Cook the kingfish portions for 2-3 minutes on each side until just cooked through.
  6. Serve the kingfish with the Moroccan bean mixture and garnish with coriander.

Chef's Tip

Kingfish holds bold spices beautifully, making it perfect for aromatic dishes like chermoula. The key is not to over-marinate — fresh kingfish only needs a short time to absorb the citrus, herbs, and spice without losing its clean natural flavour. Cook the fish hot and fast so the outside caramelises while the centre stays moist, tender, and restaurant-quality.
