Seafood and Couscous

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Couscous

    In a medium pot, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the spinach couscous and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a bowl, combine the halibut, salmon, scallops, and shrimp. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Thread the seafood onto skewers, alternating between the different types.

  3. 3

    Grill the Seafood

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the seafood is cooked through and has grill marks.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Caper Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of capers, the juice of 1 lemon, and fresh herbs. Stir and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place a serving of spinach couscous on each plate, top with grilled seafood skewers, and drizzle with the lemon caper butter sauce. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and additional fresh herbs.
