  • 300 g carrots (3 carrots)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Pour boiling vegetable broth over couscous in a bowl and let it swell.

  3. 3.

    Lay two large sheets of parchment paper flat. Spread the couscous mixture evenly over them, but not too thickly.

    Rinse the fish fillets, pat dry, season with salt and pepper, and place on top of the couscous mixture.
