I thought since my last post was sweet (oh, how sweet!), this one should be
mean savory. In case you didn't know, I'm part Cajun, and I do love seafood: favorite meal = fried catfish and mac n' cheese (I'll get to that one day!). I wasn't planning on making this a post, as it was my first time making the couscous, but it was so tasty I thought you should know about it as soon as possible...
I've done
tilapia with quinoa before, and this meal is similar but the couscous offers a different contrast to the meal and is also dairy-free. All of it was so easy to put together that I made it in under 30 minutes! There is very little prep involved and it doesn't take much skill but comes out beautifully (my kinda meal!). You could also pair this couscous with pork tenderloin or baked chicken.
I prepared the couscous before starting the fish, since fish fillets cook quickly, then let it sit warm in the saucepan while the fish fried. I haven't done it, but I think if you were having trouble finding golden raisins (I actually found this recipe in an effort to use some up) that you could substitute dried cranberries for them. I'd do unsweetened though if you can.
