Tunisian Fish with Charmoula and Couscous

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs White fish fillets (cod, haddock)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 cup Couscous
• 2 cups Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, onions)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the 2 cups Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, onions) into 1-inch pieces and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. 2In a food processor, combine the 0.25 cup Olive oil, 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, 4 cloves Garlic (peeled), 2 tbsp Lemon juice, 1 tsp Cumin, 1 tsp Paprika, and 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth to create the charmoula sauce.
3. 3Place the 1.5 lbs White fish fillets in a baking dish. Evenly spread all of the prepared charmoula sauce over the fish fillets.
4. 4Carefully place both the baking dish with the fish and the baking sheet with the vegetables into the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C); the vegetables should be tender and lightly browned.
5. 5Transfer the baked fish fillets and roasted vegetables to serving plates. Place the 1 cup Couscous alongside the fish and vegetables to complete your meal.
