Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod)
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover the pot, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.

  3. 3

    While the couscous is resting, season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and oregano. In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Place the seasoned fish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Fluff the couscous with a fork and squeeze in the lemon juice. Add the cooked vegetables and stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve the sautéed fish over the couscous mixture and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
