Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • To a medium bowl, add couscous and vegetable stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people /1 1/2 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, roughly chop tomato and cucumber. • Slice lemon into wedges. • To the bowl with couscous, add tomato, cucumber, baby spinach leaves, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. • Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. • Stir kalamata olives through the couscous.
• Divide olive couscous salad between bowls and top with crumbed fish. Drizzle over creamy pesto dressing. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
