Basa with Fruits and Nuts Couscous

So, here is my attempt at eating healthy. I seasoned the basa with lemon pepper seasoning as well as some cumin, and pan fried it with a little bit of olive oil, and crushed red peppers ( placing that into the hot oil really brings out the heat!) Here's a recipe for the couscous. I used whole wheat to try to be healthier. It was pretty tasty, and took just a few minutes to make! This meal had a lot of protein, and fiber. Yay, fiber. HAHA Can you sense my enthusiasm for healthy eating? Don't get me wrong, this stuff is actually really good. I just can't wait to indulge in some oily goodness. Just a few more days. I'm trying to be in the best shape and fitness of my life, for the week, let's see how that goes!
