Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 scallions, chopped
1 cup packed fresh cilantro
1/2 cup packed fresh mint
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger (from one 3/4-inch piece)
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch-thick spears
4 skinless fillets firm white fish (5 ounces each), such as hake or black cod
1 cup dry whole-wheat couscous

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pulse scallions, cilantro, mint, oil, ginger, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. Season with pepper.
  • Toss zucchini with 3 tablespoons herb paste in a bowl. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes.
  • Rub remaining herb paste onto both sides of fish fillets. Push zucchini to edges of baking sheet, and arrange fish in center, leaving about 1/2 inch between each fillet. Roast until fish is opaque and semi-firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions. Serve fish and zucchini over couscous.
