To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Cod:
- 4 cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Couscous:
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the cod fillets in a baking dish and brush the herb mixture over the top of each fillet. Bake the cod for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod is baking, prepare the couscous. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth and olive oil to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Let the couscous sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it has absorbed all of the liquid. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the parsley, mint, salt, and pepper.
To serve, place a scoop of couscous on each plate and top it with a cod fillet. Garnish with additional herbs, if desired.
