Ingredients
Salad

​1 cup couscous

¾ cup boiling water

¾ cup unsweetened, low-fat yoghurt

2 tbsp white vinegar

2 cups stale wholegrain bread, diced

2 tbsp olive oil

½ cup red onion, finely diced

120g baby spinach

Fish

​1 ⅓ cup stale wholegrain bread, diced

⅓ cup parsley, roughly chopped

1 tsp lemon zest

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp olive oil

600g fish fillets

​

Salad Method

​Place couscous in a bowl and pour over boiling water, cover and set aside. Mix together the yoghurt and vinegar and refrigerate. Mix the diced bread with oil and either toast on a tray in the oven or in a dry frying pan over medium heat until golden brown. When couscous has absorbed all of the water and cooled down, break it up with a fork. When ready to serve, mix together the cooked couscous, yoghurt dressing, diced onion, baby spinach and toasted bread croutons.

Fish Cooking Method

​Heat oven to 200°C. Place diced bread, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice and oil in a food processor and blend to coarse crumbs. Place fish fillets on a baking tray. Spread parsley and bread crumbs on top of fish, coating both sides, and lightly press them down. Bake in oven for approximately 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) until the fish is just cooked through.
