Moroccan Shabbat Fish image

Every Shabbat my mother-in-law makes this fish. I've modified it since the fish she uses in Israel isn't available in the Midwest. When you smell this fish cooking, you know it's Shabbat! Serve this with lots of Challah to soak up the yummy juice!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I found the flavors to be a bit too strong for my taste. I would recommend using less cumin and paprika next time.

The fish was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a fattier fish next time.
