Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F (350 degrees F for convection)
2. Lay a sheet of parchment paper onto a sheet pan.
3. Place half of the thyme or rosemary on top of the paper in the center. Lay half of the cooked couscous on top of the herbs. Then add half of the zucchini and carrots. Place a piece of Barramundi on top of the vegetables. Top the fish with half of the garlic, olives, and tomatoes. Pour half of the lemon juice and olive oil onto the Barramundi.
