Chilli-Lemon-Splashed Fish

Method

 
1. Preheat the grill to high.

2. Cut four slices from the lemon and squeeze the juice from the remainder into a small bowl. Place the fish fillets on the grill pan, skin side up, and lay the lemon slices on top; brush with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-8 minutes, without turning, until cooked and golden.

3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pan and cook the garlic and pepper for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the couscous, hot stock, tomatoes, salad onion and coriander or parsley. Season to taste, cover and remove from the heat.

4. Mix the lemon juice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the chilli powder. Fork up the couscous until fluffy then spoon onto serving plates, place the fish on top and drizzle over the chilli dressing.

Fantastic dish! So easy to make and so full of flavour! Goes really well with 2 or 3 hot chillies chopped up and added to the couscous if you like a bit more spice!
