Golden Turmeric Cod with Couscous

• 2 Cod Fillets
• 75 g Couscous
• 0.5 Red Onion, finely chopped
• 75 g Cherry Tomatoes, halved
• 1 Spring Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Coriander, chopped
• 0.5 Lemon, zest only
• 120 ml Chicken Stock
• 15 g Butter
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Turmeric Powder
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1
   Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the fillets with turmeric powder and season with salt and pepper.
2. 2
   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it starts to brown slightly (watch closely to avoid burning).
3. 3
   Add the turmeric-dusted cod fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
4. 4
   In a medium bowl, pour hot chicken stock over the couscous, stir, and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
5. 5
   Fold in the chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, spring onion, and coriander. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. 6
   Divide the couscous mixture between two plates, then place a cod fillet on top of the couscous on each plate.
7. 7
   Garnish with a little extra coriander and lemon zest for added freshness.
