Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 360°F. 

Step 2

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season generously with salt, lower the heat to medium-low and sauté until translucent and golden, about 7–10 minutes. 

Step 3

Add the green pepper, curry powder, and turmeric and continue sautéeing until the pepper is soft and the onions are a deep golden brown, about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato paste, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, date syrup, and ½ tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust, the sauce should be intensely sweet-sour but balanced. For more acidity, add more pomegranate molasses. For more sweetness, add more date syrup. Set aside.

Step 5

In a 9×12-inch baking dish, spread half of the onion-pepper mixture. Arrange the fish on top, add the remaining onion-pepper mixture, and layer the tomatoes on top. Finally, pour the sauce evenly over everything.

Step 6

Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the sugar over the top and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, until the tomatoes are lightly charred and caramelized.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with white rice.
