Ingredients (11)
- 4 x 160g skinless blue-eye fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sumac

- 1 red capsicum, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 400g can chopped tomatoes

- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Method

1.Place fish in a shallow bowl with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and toss to combine. Sprinkle with sumac, cover and set aside.

5.Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the frypan. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes each side until just cooked through.

6.Just before serving, stir the parsley leaves and the remaining lemon juice into the spiced eggplant. Divide the eggplant among 4 bowls or plates and top with the sumac fish fillets.
