Name: Whole Branzino with Chermoula, Charred Lemon & Herbed Couscous
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 whole branzino (12 oz each), scaled & gutted; 1 cup fresh cilantro; ½ cup fresh parsley; 3 cloves garlic; 2 tbsp preserved lemon, chopped; 1 tsp ground cumin; ½ tsp paprika; ¼ tsp cayenne; 5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (divided); 1 lemon, halved; 1 cup couscous; 1½ cups vegetable or fish stock; 3 tbsp butter; 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped; 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped; sea salt & black pepper

A whole branzino, scaled and gutted, seared until the skin is crackling and the flesh flakes cleanly from delicate bones. It's finished under a vibrant chermoula of cilantro, parsley, garlic, and preserved lemon—herbaceous, bright, and deeply aromatic. Served alongside buttery herbed couscous and a half of charred lemon to squeeze over.
