In this case for us, it's trout. Yes, we still have half an oceans worth in our freezer so any time we have fish, it's going to be trout. Until December.
We don't eat a lot of couscous partly because my husband complains that it's like eating nothing. As he puts it, "who wants to eat specks for dinner". Well........., if you "beef it up" with some veggies it turns out pretty good and compliments just about any protien you want. You can also eat it all by itself and get rather full.
Any vegetables will work here so be the creative person you are and come up with your own, or feel free to prepare the following recipe. One quick note for your fish, season with olive oil, Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and the juice of 1 lemon. Place on a lined baking sheet. For every 1 inch thickness of your fish (and preparing in oven), cook at 350 for 3.5 minutes. You'll have perfect fish everytime with a side of "specks".
Ingredients
12 oz package of couscous prepared to package directions
16-20 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
1/2 cup frozen (then thawed), organic lima beans

Fresh ground pepper
