Pan-Seared Trout with Curried Couscous

This Cook's Country recipe card was a huge hit! We made a half batch (for the amount of fish we had) and most of it vanished into the Kidlet. It came together really easily, too. As written it calls for salmon, but we had trout and that also worked fine. 

We made a half batch, which was enough for dinner for all of us + leftovers for the Kidlet's lunch the next day. That's the version I've written up, but if you want to scale it back up to the original, just double all quantities.

  1. Combine broth, oil, and curry powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  2. Remove from the heat, stir in the couscous, and cover for five minutes.
  3. Stir in chickpeas and couscous.
  4. Meanwhile, dust the trout with cayenne powder to taste (2.5mL/filet is a good amount) and salt.

  6. Flip over and continue cooking until cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
