Overview
Here is the recipe for the Garlic Lemon Fish. Start by setting up the fish in the marinade. The recipe calls for mahi mahi. I used tilapia this time. Any flaky white fish will work fine.
I paired the fish with Chickpea Couscous. Once the fish is marinating, measure out your couscous and set aside. Assemble the other ingredients in a saucepan and turn on the heat to get the water boiling.
Put a pot of water on to boil for the steamed vegetables. I used broccoli and cauliflower this time. Alternately, you could microwave the vegetables in a microwave-safe container with about a half cup of water instead of steaming on the stove top.
When the water for the couscous boils, add the measured couscous and turn off the heat. Start up the grill. Start the vegetables steaming when their water starts to boil. Line the grill with aluminum foil and put on the fish.
The fish will cook quickly -- only about 8-10 minutes. I am not particularly experienced in cooking fish. I found this article helpful to determine when the fish was done.
Check your steaming vegetables halfway through the fish's cooking time. Try one or poke it with a fork. You're looking for crisp-tender. Drain, place in a large bowl, and cover to keep warm.
Bring the fish in and cover it. Let it rest while you add a pat of butter and a sprinkle of salt to the vegetables. Fluff the couscous. Serve.
