Mild, moist and lean, cod fillets can take on just about any flavour profile and come out a winner. This Middle Eastern-inspired recipe makes the most of their tender-firm texture: enrobed in our lively Dash of Dukkah blend and crisped to perfection, it plays delicately off the hummus sauce (the secret: a squirt of orange juice). Combined with a zingy pearled couscous salad loaded with roasted veggies, every mouthful is worthy of an audible sigh of contentment.

Preparation
Boil the couscous
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the couscous; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 12 min., until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping.
Roast the vegetables
Meanwhile, quarter the carrots lengthwise. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of olive oil and S&P. Roast, 14 to 16 min., until beginning to soften. Remove from the oven, flip and add the kale, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P; toss well. Roast, 6 to 8 min., until the carrots are tender and the kale has wilted.
Toast the sunflower seeds
Meanwhile, in a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high. Toast the sunflower seeds, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl; season with S&P. Reserve the pan.
Prepare & cook the cod
Pat the cod dry with paper towel; season with S&P. Place the spices on a plate; season with S&P. Working one at a time, coat the cod in the spices. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high. Cook the cod*, 3 to 4 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the salad & hummus sauce
Meanwhile, juice the orange. In a large bowl, combine the couscous, vegetables, ⅔ of the vinaigrette, ½ the orange juice, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P. In a medium bowl, combine the hummus, remaining orange juice, remaining vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide a spoonful of the hummus sauce between your bowls and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the salad and cod. Garnish with the sunflower seeds. Serve the remaining hummus sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
