    I omitted the olives (I don't like them) and the pine nuts. I found this to be very tasty and easy. Next time I may add little bit more of the tomatos and red peppers though since I won't be adding the olives. I will definitely make this one again.

    A delicious and healthy meal comes together quite quickly here. Just as the chef improvised to suit the availability of ingredients in her kitchen, so did I. Had to skip the pinenuts and replaced the white wine with a quick splash of white balsamic vinegar. Also reduced the amount of oil by half to keep this low calorie. The couscous creates a lovely layer over the fish that keeps it wonderfully tender. Yet, even in the time allotted the fish does grab some nice flavor from the additions to the topping. The squeeze of lemon is a must as it really give a nice pop to the dish. Thanks!!
