Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Pat the white fish dry with paper towels and cut into serving-size pieces if necessary.

- Fluff the couscous with a fork.
- Rub the spice mix evenly over the pieces of white fish.
- Gently place the seasoned fish pieces into the skillet with the simmering gravy and vegetables.
- Cover the skillet and let the fish cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Stir the chopped fresh parsley into the couscous.
- To serve, place a portion of couscous on each plate and top with spiced fish and vegetable gravy.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spiced Fish with Couscous!
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Make sure to fluff the couscous with a fork after it cooks to keep it light and fluffy.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice mix.
- Use fresh parsley for a more vibrant and aromatic result.
