AND for vegetables as well.
Even though traditionally used to marinate fish, charmoula is truly delightful on anything, from whole fish to fish fillets, to chicken, to beef, to vegetarian dishes of all sorts.
If lacking time to marinate, you may rub your fish with chermoula and cook it right away. The flavors are strong enough that your dish will still taste amazing.
