• 1 cup chopped tomato
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 2/3 cup uncooked couscous
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 4 (6-ounce) sea bass or halibut fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices lemon, halved (about 1 lemon)
• Whole chives (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cut green onion into 3-inch pieces, and cut pieces into julienne strips.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds or until garlic begins to brown. Add the tomato and onions; reduce heat to medium, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Keep warm.

Combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Gradually stir in couscous and chopped chives. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Cover and keep warm.

Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place fillets in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place 4 halved lemon slices on each fillet. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve over couscous, and top with vinaigrette. Garnish with whole chives, if desired.
