Instructions
- In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, and the entire 14 1/2-ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the juices).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, stir in 3/4 cup Moroccan couscous and season with kosher or sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover tightly, and let the couscous stand for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, uncover and fluff the couscous with a fork; keep covered to stay warm while you cook the fish.
- Pat the 16 ounces of cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher or sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and let it shimmer.
- Add the cod fillets to the skillet (do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed) and cook until opaque and the flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 2–3 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet, place on plates, and drizzle 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice evenly over the fillets.
- Serve the cod fillets with the fluffed Moroccan couscous.
