  5. Remove dish with tomatoes from oven and place fish on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over second measure of lemon zest. Return to middle rack of oven to grill for 4–5 minutes, until fish is cooked through. Remove fish and set aside.
  6. Add couscous and parsley to grilled cherry tomatoes and gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon cherry tomatoes with couscous onto a plate and top with grilled fish. Serve a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing.
