The Good Bit
- Start by getting your grill heated to a high temperature. Next cut 4 individual5mm thick slices from the lemon, then squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon into the small bowl, now lay the fillets on the grill pan skin side up and lay a slice of lemon on each, brush with a little oil and season with salt and pepper then grill for 6-8 minutes without turning.
- Heat a splash of oil in your frying pan and cook the and pepper for 4-5 minutes until the pepper is soft, stir in the couscous and then add the hot vegetable stock, drop in the tomatoes, onion and parsley, then bring to a simmer and remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of oil in with the lemon juice and add the chilli powder, stir well. finally, fork up the couscous to break it up then serve onto plates topped with your fish and then drizzle over the lemon chilli sauce.
