  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup tomato chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice divided
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (or balsamic)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 cups fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
  • 2/3 cups uncooked couscous

  • 4 (6 oz) pieces sea bass or halibut fillets (or wolf fish) about 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 (1/4 inch thick) lemon slices, halved

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, sauté 30 seconds or until garlic begins to brown. Add the tomato and onions, reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Keep warm.
  3. Combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and broth in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil. Gradually stir in couscous and chopped chives. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Cover and keep warm.
  4. Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place fillets in an 11 X 7 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place halved lemon slices on each fillet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve over couscous, and top with vinaigrette.
