Couscous With Fish and Smoked Sausage

Submitted by Korkin

"I had some halibut I was going to steam but when I opened the package it didn't look like enough food. So I decided to toss it into my couscous and season with ingredients on hand. This is a great one dish meal I can eat for several days! Spicy and full of good veggies. I learned this method from a friend from Tunisia. he makes it with lamb and zucchini, so feel free to get creative with ingredients!"
