Servings: persons

3/4 cup loosely packed flat leaf parsley
2 scallions, including green tops chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons cooking oil
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups couscous
2 lbs flounder fillets, cut to make 4 pieces
1/4 cup flour

1
In a blender, puree the parsley and scallions with the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 cup of the water, and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining 2 cups water to a boil with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the parsley puree and the couscous. Cover, remove from the heat, and let sit for 5 minutes.
3
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dust the flounder with the flour and shake off any excess. Saute the fish until brown and just done, about 2 minutes a side for 1/2-inch-thick fillets. Serve the fish on the couscous with the remaining parsley puree on the top.
