Poached Flounder with North African Spices image

This is a variation on a simpler dinner I wanted to add some more flavor to. The added flavor comes from North African spices. The broth used to poach the fish can be easily multiplied to create a wonderful soup to which you can add tomatoes, beans, green peppers, and any other veggies you would like. Serve with any green veggie and either noodles, rice, or potatoes to make a full meal. Enjoy!

This dish was okay. The flounder was cooked well, but the spices were a bit bland. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the spices had been more flavorful.

I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The flounder was a bit dry and the spices were a bit overpowering. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
