In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to cook delicious fish couscous the right way.

Ingredients:

  • 500g of fresh fish fillets (such as cod or sea bass)
  • 2 cups of couscous
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • A handful of chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Fish

Start by cleaning and patting dry the fish fillets. Season them with salt, pepper, and half a teaspoon of ground cumin. Set aside and let the flavors infuse into the fish while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent. Add the sliced bell peppers, diced zucchini, and carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3: Spice it Up

Add the remaining half teaspoon of ground cumin, ground coriander, and paprika to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the aromatic spices. Let the spices toast for a minute or two, releasing their flavors.

Step 4: Cook the Fish

Place the seasoned fish fillets on top of the sautéed vegetables in the pot. Pour the can of diced tomatoes over the fish and vegetables, allowing the flavors to marry. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5: Couscous Time

In a separate pot, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions. Typically, you’ll need to bring water to a boil, add the couscous, cover, and let it sit for a few minutes until it absorbs all the water. Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Place a portion of couscous on each plate, and top it with the flavorful fish and vegetable mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of freshness and color. Serve hot and relish the deliciousness!

Fish couscous is a delightful dish that satisfies both your cravings and your nutritional needs. With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, it’s a winner for any occasion. Impress your family and friends with this recipe, and savor the compliments that come your way!
