Instructions

1
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, core and cut peppers into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Drain olives, then roughly chop.
2
  • Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add half the Mediterranean Spice Blend and chili flakes. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add wine. Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half.
3
  • Add crushed tomatoes, baby tomatoes and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
4
  • Meanwhile, pat sea bass dry with paper towels, then season with remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then sea bass, skin-side down. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook sea bass in two batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook for 4-5 min, until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for 2-3 min, until sea bass is opaque and cooked through.** 
5
  • Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add couscous. Cook uncovered for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • Strain couscous, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • Add garlic spread. Toss until melted and coated. [tester, this is all happening simultaneously and should be done in 20 min, but please confirm.]
6
  • To pot with couscous, add sauce and olives. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Divide couscous between plates. 
  • Top with sea bass.
  • Roughly tear basil and sprinkle over top.
