Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • To a medium bowl, add couscous and vegetable stock pot (see ingredients). • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people /11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside.
• Meanwhile, set air fryer to 200°C. • Place crumbed basa into an air fryer basket and cook, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if needed). • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: No air fryer? Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook crumbed basa until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the fish is cooking, slice lemon into wedges. • Add trimmed green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain, then add to the bowl with the couscous. • To the bowl with couscous and green beans, add baby spinach leaves, kalamata olives, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. • Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Divide couscous salad between plates and top with quick prep crumbed fish. • Serve with creamy pesto dressing and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
