Yes, the Luxury Fish Tagine can easily be made gluten-free. Just ensure that the harissa and bouillon powder you use are gluten-free. Serve the tagine with gluten-free grains like quinoa or rice instead of couscous, which typically contains gluten.
What can I substitute for white firm fish in this tagine recipe?
If you don't have white firm fish, you can substitute it with salmon, cod, or even shrimp. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the type of seafood you choose. Ensure that the fish is cooked through but still tender.
