Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pat the inside cavity and skin of the fish dry with paper towel. Place a few slices of the lemon with the onion and parsley inside the cavity of each fish. Arrange the rest of the lemon slices over the top of the fish.
- Wrap the fish in the vine leaves, enclosing the lemon slices, and drizzle with the olive oil. Arrange the fish and tomatoes on the prepared tray.
- Bake the fish for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the size, until the fish is tender and comes away easily from the bone when tested with a flat-bladed knife.
- Meanwhile, prepare the couscous. Put the couscous, raisins and allspice in a heatproof bowl, add the boiling stock and leave to stand for 5 minutes, until all the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff up the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Add the pine nuts, parsley and dill, and mix to combine.
- Serve the fish with the couscous and lemon wedges.
