Ingredients
  • Orange and Red Onion Sauce:
  • 1½ Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb red onions, cut into ¼-inch slices
  • 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • Dash of Tabasco sauce
  • Pinch of ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Citrus Couscous:
  • 3 cups light chicken stock
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • Grated zest of 1 lime
  • ¼ tsp Chinese chile paste
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1½ cups instant couscous
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Grilled Sea Bass:
  • 6 (4- to 5-ounce) skinless, boneless sea bass fillets, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Sprigs of chervil

Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add red onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are softened but not browned.
  3. Add orange juice and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, Tabasco, coriander, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine stock, citrus zests, chile paste, and olive oil.
  6. Bring the mixture just to a boil over medium heat, and then immediately stir in couscous.
  7. Remove from heat, cover pan, and let stand until the couscous is tender, about 10 minutes.
  8. When all of the liquid has been absorbed, fluff the couscous with a fork and add salt and pepper.
  9. Brush sea bass fillets on all sides with olive oil.
  10. Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high.
  11. Season fillets with salt and pepper and grill them for about 3 minutes on each side, or until done through and opaque.
  12. During the last minute of cooking, squeeze a little lemon juice over each fillet.
  13. To plate, put a mound of couscous on each of 6 heated dinner plates and place a grilled fillet on top.
  14. Drizzle the onion sauce around the edge of the plates and garnish with a few sprigs of chervil.
