Golden, flaky, and a little dramatic in the best way, this fish bastilla is the kind of dinner that looks special without being out of reach on a weeknight. Crisp filo wraps around saffron-spiced fish, fresh herbs, and a soft egg-set filling, with a delicate almond layer that brings that signature Moroccan sweet-savory contrast.

Tender white fish simmered in a bright tomato sauce scented with garlic, olives, capers and pickled jalapeño. Ready in one skillet, it balances savory, briny and slightly tangy flavors and is excellent with rice or warm corn tortillas.
