Yield makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup dry Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (about 1 ounce)
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (8-ounce) tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup Israeli couscous
1 bunch green onions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
1 small red onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (6-ounce) jar marinated artichokes, drained and liquid reserved
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons bottled capers, drained
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • On a large plate, stir together the bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat dry, then coat on both sides with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tilapia fillets and sauté, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer the tilapia to a plate and keep warm.
  • In a medium saucepan over moderately high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then stir in the green onions. Cover and keep warm.
  • While the couscous is standing, prepare the sauce: In the skillet that was used to cook the fish, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the red onion and sauté, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 2 more minutes. Add the artichokes and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and capers and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the reserved artichoke liquid, the vegetable stock, butter, and lemon juice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
  • Divide the couscous between 2 plates and top each with a tilapia fillet. Spoon the sauce over the fish and couscous and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much salt. I'll definitely try this recipe again with less salt.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much cayenne pepper. I'll definitely try this recipe again with less spice.
