Ingredients
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp wine vinegar
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 3 tbsp chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 4 rainbow salmon fillets or skinned trout fillets, (about 1-1/2 lb/750 g)
- 4 lemon wedges
Preparation
In large bowl, whisk together parsley, oil, vinegar, mustard, oregano, green onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Remove 2 tbsp (25 mL) and set aside for serving.
To remaining oil mixture, stir in couscous, 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water and tomatoes; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
Cut four 12-inch (30 cm) squares of parchment paper. Evenly spoon couscous onto 1 side of each square; top each with fish fillet. Fold paper over so edges meet; fold and pinch edges together to seal packet.
Place packets on rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until fish flakes easily when tested, about 17 minutes. Open packets; drizzle with reserved oil mixture. Serve with lemon.
