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.
