Fishing for a delicious, sea-faring meal? We’ve got just the thing. Flaky tilapia fillets are rubbed with a bold seasoning blend, then roasted to perfection. Once they emerge from the oven, they’re drizzled with an enchanting sauce known as “gremolata.” In it, there’s fresh parsley, crunchy toasted almonds, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. On the side, there’s roasted green beans and buttery Israeli couscous. Yeah, that’s a whole ’lata weeknight goodness.

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Zest and quarter lemon (for 4, zest 1 lemon and quarter both). Mince or grate garlic. Finely chop parsley. In a small bowl, combine parsley, 3 TBSP olive oil (5 TBSP for 4), a pinch of garlic and lemon zest, and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Toss green beans on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pat tilapia dry with paper towels; rub all over with olive oil, Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place on empty side of same sheet. Roast on top rack until tilapia is cooked through and green beans are tender, 12-15 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 baking sheets; roast green beans on top rack and tilapia on middle rack.)
Meanwhile, once water is boiling, add couscous to pot. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Melt garlic herb butter in empty pot over medium heat. Return couscous to pot and stir until coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; keep covered until ready to serve.
While couscous cooks, heat a medium, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer to a cutting board; finely chop half the almonds.
Stir chopped almonds into bowl with gremolata. Add a small pinch of chili flakes if desired. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
Divide couscous, green beans, and tilapia between plates. Spoon almond parsley gremolata over tilapia. Scatter remaining almonds over green beans; add a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Loved this! I grilled the green beans and tilapia on our Weber, and they were delicious! The Almond-Parsley Gremolata was a wonderful addition to the fish, tasty, and the couscous was great, creamy, and wonderfully flavored by the garlic butter! Well done!
Excellent meal! I loved the seasoning on the tilapia and the gremolata sauce. First time I ever made couscous too! After adding the almonds to the gremolata sauce, the recipe says to add lemon, salt, and pepper. These ingredients had been added earlier and would be redundant to add again. Also, the crushed red peppers should be added to the sauce earlier for better flavor otherwise they could be too crunchy.
I ordered this recipe multiple times. The couscous is by far the best I have ever had, and the green beans are plentiful. The tilapia is great from the oven and the gremolata is an amazing touch.
We loved this. Fish turned out perfect and had such a great flavor. The recipe didn't tell me to save the unchopped almonds for the green beans so I put it all in the gremolata. Turned out great. Couscous could have used some garlic or lemon. Very tasty! I would order this again.
The tilapia was absolutely fantastic!!! It was fresh and cooked to perfection!!! I also LOVED the Gremolata and the touch of lemon and almonds on the string beans!! As mentioned before: consider having at least two options for the veggies. It appears that MANY of the dinners have string beans! I personally love them, but my husband is not much of a fan of green beans.
We really enjoyed this meal. I did not follow the instructions to oven bake. Instead, I cooked the tilapia in a cast iron skillet on the stove. I also cooked the green beans in a skillet too. The gremolata was the perfect accompaniment to the tilapia. Added a nice bright pop of freshness from the herbs and that little bit of acid from the lemon. We will definitely be ordering this dish again and again.
A very light dinner! The flavors of the tilapia paired well with the garlicky couscous, and the almonds with green beans gave for a nice textured bite! Portions of couscous seemed rather small.
The tilapia was wonderful! I actually made the gremolata first so that it could kind of steep for a while as I was preparing the rest. I measured the oil carefully and even after adding the almonds - I did feel that it was "soupy". The flavor was quite pleasant - but after topping the fish, it kind of ran off onto the other courses (leaving the solids atop the fillet) and made the sides seem...well, greasy. The green beans were fine otherwise. The cous cous - I was a little disappointed with. The flavor was ok. It was more of a texture disappointment. Especially with the added crunch of almonds in the gremolata and on the green beans. In previous meal kits - my experience with the cous cous has thus far had additional stir in's (red onion, zucchini...) and I think that is preferable.
The couscous was delicious. Some of the green beans were a bit tough. Tilapia recipe could have been better if fry mix were mixed with breadcrumbs and fish coated in light layer of aioli. There was no parsley in the package. The gremolata was very good. I felt the prep and cooking instructions could be a bit better organized.
The tilapia filets were a nice portion size and not too fishy, which I like! The almond-parsley gremolata was new to me and I really enjoyed it!
