Fresh Irish White Pollock is one of our most underrated fish – Sustainably caught by small Inshore boats White Pollock fillets works perfectly in this Moroccan inspired dish. Ras el Hanout, is a flavorful & earthy Moroccan spice blend. (Too many ingredients too list… But no Chili pepper ) that is actually commonly sold in any Supermarkets. We used our air fryer to give a toasted crust on the outside while keeping the fish moist on the inside, but under the Grill will achieve the same result.
It’s a great simple meal, which will also work with any other white fish. The delicious flavors will impress. We hope you try it soon
