Ingredients
1 drizzle | Olive oil |
2 | Carrots |
120 g | Parsnips |
1 | Red onion |
2 cloves | Garlic |
1 | Lemon |
10 g | Parsley |
60 g | Baby spinach leaves |
175 g | Greek yoghurt |
1 ½ cups | Water |
10 g | Vegetable stock powder |
½ cup | Couscous (Main) |
560 g | White fish fillets (Main) |
4 Tbsp | Dukkah |
2 tsp | Plain flour |
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot and parsnip (both unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges. Place the carrot, parsnip and onion on an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, separate across two trays.
- While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lemon (see ingredients list) to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Leave until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside, uncovered.
- Place the white fish fillets on a plate and drizzle with olive oil. In a shallow bowl, combine the dukkah and plain flour. Lay each fish fillet on the dukkah mixture, pressing gently, then flipping to coat. In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the coated fish and cook until just cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. TIP: The fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white.
- Add the roasted veggies, baby spinach, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and 1/2 the parsley to the saucepan with the couscous. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Divide the roasted veggie couscous and dukkah-crusted fish between plates. Dollop over the lemon yoghurt and garnish with the remaining parsley.
