Ingredients
For the Cous Cous:
- 1.5 cups couscous
- 1.5 cups orange juice
- 1/2 orange peeled, segmented, and chopped
- 1/2 fl oz vodka lemon peeled, segmented, and chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 handful mint leaves chopped
- 1 handful Coriander leaves chopped
- olive oil extra virgin
- sea salt flakes
- black pepper freshly ground
For the Fish:
- 4 snapper fillets boneless, barramundi is also a good choice
- 2 tsps caraway seeds
- 2 tsps coriander seeds
- 1 tsp thyme fresh
- 1 tsp cumin dried
- 1 tsp cinnamon dried
- 1 tsp chili powder dried
- sea salt flakes
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° Fahrenheit).
- Place all the spices for the fish into a mortar (alternatively a food processor), add a few good pinches of sea salt, and a few rounds of pepper.
- Crush all the ingredients into a powder.
- Pat dry the fish filets and rub liberal amounts on both sides of the snapper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cold orange juice with the couscous and allow to stand 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile sear the fish in some extra virgin olive oil in a non stick fry pan over high heat, approx 2 mins per side, depending on thickness of fish.
- Transfer the fish to the oven for approx 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fluff the couscous with a fork, add the citrus fruit, raisins, chopped herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste.
- Remove the fish from the oven and serve with the couscous. Definitely a white wine combination.
