Very easy and tasty preparation for fish! I used tilapia for the fish. I don't care for raw onion so left it out of the salad and gave my parsley a rough chop before adding it in. Loved the capers and the salad was great with the fish. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
So good! I used rice (per DH's preference) and didn't have a single tomato of any description in the house. Still, it came out excellent and full of flavor. The fish was a large catfish fillet that DH and I split and both really enjoyed. Thanks so much for this marvelous recipe. :D -
Delicious! I used red snapper and rice instead of the couscous! The sauce was great over the fish and the rice! Thanks for posting! Made for Holiday Tag July 2011.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
