Chermoula or charmoula is a marinade used in Algerian, Moroccan and Tunisian cooking. It is usually used to flavour fish or seafood, but it can be used on other meats or vegetables.
Chermoula is often made of a mixture of herbs, oil, lemon juice, preserved lemons, garlic, cumin, and salt. It may also include onion, fresh coriander, ground chilli peppers, black pepper, or saffron.
