I'm not a fan of citrus flavors, so I omitted the lemon and orange zest. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used quinoa instead of couscous and it turned out great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish. I also like to add some chopped vegetables, like broccoli or zucchini.
