Couscous con sgombri al forno

Tonight I did not have a clear idea of what I fel to eat... pork maybe. Yes, I will have pork and salad. Then I entered the supermarket, one of my favorite supermarkets and I saw the fish desk, I immediately change my mind. I do not usually come to this place but when I do I cannot avoyed buying fish. They had different fish and mussles but the mackerels caugt my eyes... they looked very fresh and so nice.

No idea yet on how to cook the meckerels... in the oven... yes, I will bake them in the oven with some garlic, parsley and oil... nice, I thought. Then I started thinking of couscous, so I boiled some. When the fish was ready I decided to take the flesh and mix it to the couscous, add some cherry tomatoes, black olives and fresh parsley. And the dish was done... quite improvvised but deliscious!
