Steps:
- Make the couscous according to the package directions and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, score the bass skin by penetrating it only slightly with a sharp knife and creating a 1 1/2-inch-long slit in each fillet.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the fillets with the juice of 1 lemon, then season with salt and pepper.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let melt. Add the fish skin-side down and gently press the center of the flesh on each fillet for about 10 seconds to ensure that the skin stays flat and can get crispy.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the shallots, capers and garlic around the fish and cook, spooning the butter over the fish, until the fish is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the fish, skin-side up, to a plate and remove the skillet from the heat. Add the couscous, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley and the remaining juice of 1/2 lemon to the skillet and toss to coat and combine.
- Serve the couscous salad on plates and top each with 2 fish fillets. Enjoy!
