I am keeping my resolution about healthy eating

This is a quick meal that I made which is full of goodness. It doesn't take long and is ideal if you have been at work all day. This is what you need

4 pieces cod or haddock fillet

3 tablespoons olive oil and a little extra for brushing

2 finely chopped garlic cloves

1 red pepper

6 oz couscous

10fl oz vegetable stock

2 tomatoes

4 spring onions

2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

1/4 teaspoon of chilli powder

salt and pepper


  1. finely chop the garlic cloves, seed and finely dice the pepper, dice the tomatoes, chop the corriander. It is vital to do all this before you begin because everything happens quickly.

  2. Pre heat the grill. Cut 4 slices from the lemon and squeeze the juice from what is left. Put it in a bowl. Put the fillets of fish onto the grill pan with the skin side upwards. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-8 minutes.

  3. While they are grilling heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan and cook the garlic and pepper for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in couscous, hot stock, tomatoes, spring onions and coriander. Season to taste, cover and remove from the heat.

  4. Mix the lemon juice with the chilli powder and the 2 tablespoons of oil you have left. Fork up the couscous and spoon onto plates with the fish on top and drizzle the chilli dressing on the top.

The meal should be read in 30 minutes from the time you begin. The skin is blackened , crispy and delicious.
