Method

Potato Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes with melted butter, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Form the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the potato mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a thin crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Fish Preparation

  1. 4

    Season the Fish

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Marinate the fish fillets in this mixture for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky.

Couscous Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Couscous

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 7

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
