Chermoula grilled salmon with green bean

 This was a great meal!

Used TJ's skin on BBQ cut salmon.

Charmoula recipe (can be doubled if more fish) 

 Blend in the tiny food processor:

  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup packed flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper

Optional additions:

  • ½ tsp turmeric for earthiness
  • 1 tsp preserved lemon, finely minced (excellent if you can find it)
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

I lightly seasoned the fish with salt.  Then put most of the chermoula on top and marinated for 30-60 min.  Right before I grilled I spread mayo on the skin side (which wasn't marinated).

I'd put the fish and green beans in at about the same time.  Grill at 450.  Flip the fish at 4 min.  Check at 8 min.  If need be, grill 1 more min on the other two sides. 

For the green beans:

Chop a bunch of green beans into 1-2" long pieces.  Toss in olive oil (not too much!  maybe 1/2 Tbsp) and salt and pepper.  Grill in grill basket at 450 for about 8 minutes (not longer!).  Meanwhile, inside, toast slivered almonds.  Toss all together when done.  Squeeze lemon on top.
