Mixed fish grill with lemon couscous
This dish is delicious and impressive, yet so easy. If you're serving the full menu, heat the oven while you make your starter, place the tray in the oven when you serve the starter and it will be ready at the exact right time. If you like, you can make the dish in advance, and place it in the fridge until you're ready to pop it in the oven.
