Passover Moroccan fish balls

With Passover around the corner, we are all looking for new recipes or recipes that can be adapted to the Passover requirements. Another great recipe to prepare for the Holiday is fish balls, I love to them with broad beans, that makes the meal 100% Passover in my mind. Here's what you'll need to prepare them:

For the fish:
2 pounds ground fish (available at the fish store)
You can use a mix of white fish & pike, salmon and white fish, salmon and telapia...
1/4 cup mazto meal
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp paprika
salt
For the sauce:
1 red pepper sliced in 6 strips
2 dried peppers that you've soaked and cleaned
2-3 cloves peeled garlic
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 coriander chopped
1 cup saffron infused water
4 tbsps oil
salt

In a bowl mix all the ingredients for the fish and let it rest for an hour in the fridge, then heat a pan and add 1 tbsp of oil olive and 1 of oil, shape your fish balls with oiled hands to get them nice and smooth and sear them for a few minutes on each and put aside. I the same pan add the remaining oil, the dried peppers that were soaked, the garlic, coriander, saffron water, the red pepper, salt and paprika, bring to a boil and add the fish balls, once everything is boiling, lower the heat and let them simmer covered for 20 minutes then uncovered for another 15 or 20 minutes till sauce thickens and enjoy!
