If you are a seafood lover looking for a delicious and wholesome meal, fish couscous is the perfect dish for you. This traditional North African delicacy combines aromatic spices with tender fish and fluffy couscous. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making mouthwatering fish couscous right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients you will need:

  • 1 lb fresh fish fillets (such as cod or sea bass)
  • 2 cups couscous
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups fish or vegetable broth
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the fish and vegetables

Begin by cleaning and washing the fish fillets. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Next, chop all the vegetables as indicated in the ingredients list.

Step 2: Sauté the vegetables

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables become tender and slightly golden.

Step 3: Add the spices

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the aromatic spices, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4: Cook the fish

Gently place the seasoned fish fillets into the pot, making sure they are fully submerged in the vegetable and spice mixture. Cover the pot and let the fish cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5: Prepare the couscous

While the fish is cooking, prepare the couscous according to the instructions on the package. Typically, you will need to bring water or broth to a boil, then stir in the couscous, cover, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it absorbs all the liquid. Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

To serve, spoon a generous amount of couscous onto each plate. Top it with a portion of the fragrant vegetables from the pot, and gently place a cooked fish fillet on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot and savor the delightful flavors of your homemade fish couscous.

There you have it — a simple and satisfying recipe for making fish couscous. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself to a delicious meal, this flavorful dish will surely impress. Now it’s time to put on your apron and give it a try. Bon appétit!
