  1. Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over half the stock, cover and leave to plump up. Cook the onion in a little olive oil until softened. Add the courgette and cook for 3 minutes. Add the harissa, tomatoes and the rest of the stock and bring to a simmer. Sit the fish on top of the veg, put on a lid and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the fish is just cooked.
  2. Mix the parsley through the couscous. Serve the fish on top of the couscous then spoon over the veg and juices.

    Liked this very much - I had to leave the skin on the fish as the fillets looked like they'd fall apart but this didn't cause any problem. I might add chickpeas next time to bulk it up a bit as it was quite a light meal (for two big eaters).

    Really nice dish. I added half a can of chick peas and it was more than enough for two of us. The sauce was a tiny bit watery so I just added some flour to thicken it. Went down a treat! Will definitely make it again.

    Lovely dish, the harissa added a nice kick to the dish and the couscous soaked up the sauces and tasted delish - I did add the juice of half a lemon while it was soaking though. More than enough for 2 people!

    Great recipe, not difficult and very quick. I used Vietnamese river cobbler as the fish, and I think it worked really well (also very cheap - 81p for a fillet). It may be a bit light for two, but it is a substantial meal for one (used one fillet, but more or less the same amount of veg).

    Really tasty and simple dinner. Needed a juice of a lemon but that was all.

    I thought the fish & veggies were lovely, but the parsley in the couscous spoiled it for me, could hardly taste anything else. I am definitely going to leave it out next time.

    Healthy and easy. Used Thai Green curry paste instead of harissa. Mine didn't look like the picture at all due to the largeness of the courgette - much greener! Tasty though.

    So easy and quick to make - perfect for weekday meal. I enjoyed this but it was a tiny bit on the spicy side for me - I would make it again but would add slightly less Harissa next time (perhaps 2/3 tbsp).
