In this deliciously quick and easy recipe, you’ll top cod fillets in decadent brown butter dotted with sliced almonds and brightened up with lemon juice. The fluffy couscous has a beautiful balance of sweet, grounded and citrusy flavours, thanks to freshly grated zest and a hint of maple syrup. The textural high point of the meal comes from the salad: each bite of this apple-kohlrabi side offers up some real sunshiny crunch.
