Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 300 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock, diced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 30 grams Roasted almonds (chopped)
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and diced white fish to the pan. Sprinkle with ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the seafood in the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and the fish is opaque and flaky. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and orange juice to create the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, cooked seafood, and chopped parsley. Drizzle the citrus dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the roasted almonds over the salad for a crunchy topping.
Serve the Moroccan Seafood and Broccoli Salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
