🐟Fish🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a gluten-free version, swap the couscous for rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. If fish is off the table, try firm tofu or a thick slice of cauliflower seasoned in the same lemon-herb style for a similar fresh feel.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans to echo the light, fresh profile without adding much richness. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon fits nicely alongside the bright herb and citrus notes.
