Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish (such as cod or tilapia), cut into 4 pieces
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced onions and toss to coat. Spread the onions on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until caramelized.
- While the onions are roasting, cook the spaghetti in boiling, salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the white fish pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- In a large serving dish, combine the cooked spaghetti, caramelized onions, and pan-seared white fish. Toss everything together, adding some reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
