This lemon cod with couscous comes together super quick and needs little preparation. Classic couscous is a solid foundation for the protein-packed fish and absorbs flavors nicely.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the avocado oil. Add the couscous and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
Add the vegetable broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and place the cod filets on top of the couscous. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper over the cod.
Cover and let cook for about 12-15 minutes until the cod is tender and the couscous is cooked through.
