  • 1 pack market fish
  • 2 Tbsp red pepper pesto

Salad

  • Remaining red pepper pesto

To Serve

Steps

  1. Cook couscous Pour boiling water into a medium pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Add pearl couscous and a pinch of salt. Cook for 12-14 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and return cooked couscous to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prep and cook fish Pat fish dry and remove any scales or bones. Place on a lined oven tray and season with salt. Spread first measure of red pepper pesto evenly over fish. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until just cooked through.
  3. Prep salad In a large bowl, mix together remaining red pepper pesto, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Cut cherry tomatoes in half; dice capsicum 2cm; roughly chop olives; grate courgette. Add to bowl with dressing and set aside. Add rocket and couscous to bowl, then stir to combine. Season to taste.
  4. Serve pearl couscous and salad between plates, then top with fish and squeeze over a lemon wedge.
