I wanted to make something light but tasty for Lee and I last night and was so surprised at how much flavor there was for a "light" recipe! I usually end up making some changes or adding my own spices to recipes in some way and this one is no exception. Here are my changes: I used chicken broth instead of water (I...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c couscous (i used whole wheat couscous from trader joes)
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced
1 zucchini, finely diced
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
salt and pepper to taste
1 TBL dijon mustard
1 tsp dijon mustard (for vinaigrette)
4 flounder fillets (6-8 oz. ea.) i used "white roughy" from trader joes
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. In a 2 quart, shallow microwave-safe dish, combine couscous, bell pepper, zucchini, green onion, oregano, 1 TBL oil and 1/2 C water (I used chicken broth). Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and microwave on high until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir mixture.
  • 2. Dividing evenly, spread 1TBL Dijon over one side of fish; season with salt and pepper. Roll up each fillet, and place on top of couscous. Cover, and microwave on high until fish is almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes to finish cooking. (If the fish is not opaque at this point, as mine wasn't, just put it back in the microwave for 2 more minutes and let rest again. Don't overcook to the point of rubbery fish! You want it to be cooked, but moist and tender).
  • 3. Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk remaining teaspoon Dijon, with vinegar and remaining 2 TBL of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle fish and couscous with vinaigrette, and season with ground pepper. Sprinkle with some freshly chopped parsley. enjoy!

The flounder was a bit overcooked, but the vegetable couscous was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would be more careful not to overcook the fish.
