- 60 ml Fresh lemon juice(Approximately 2-3 tablespoons.)

Prepare the Chermoula Paste: In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh cilantro, parsley, peeled garlic cloves, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add salt and pepper. Process until a coarse paste forms. Scrape down the sides as needed. The consistency should be thick but spreadable.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Marinate the Fish: If using whole fish, make a few shallow slashes on both sides of the fish with a sharp knife. This helps the marinade penetrate. If using fillets, place them in a shallow dish. Generously coat the fish (inside and out for whole fish, and all over for fillets) with the chermoula paste, ensuring it gets into the slashes if applicable. Cover the dish or place the fish in a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor. Do not marinate for too long, as the lemon juice can start to 'cook' the fish.
⏱️ 1-2 hours - 3
Cook the Fish: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat. If roasting, place the marinated fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a roasting pan. If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F). Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
