Instructions
Preheat the oven to fan 170C/ conventional 190C/ gas
Rub the haddock fillets with the spice blend and set aside.
Put the couscous into a large heatproof bowl.
Pour over 500ml/18fl oz of boiling water and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the onion gently for 5 minutes, until its soft and golden.
Remove from the heat and stir in the pine nuts and sultanas.
Fluff up the couscous with a fork, then add the onion mixture, orange zest and juice, and half the parsley. Stir together thoroughly and season with black pepper. Tip into a roasting tray and level the surface.
Arrange the fish fillets on top of the couscous. Cover loosely with a large piece of foil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, by which time the fish should be cooked it depends on the thickness of the fillets. To check, the flesh should look opaque and flake easily when prodded with a fork.
Serve at once, sprinkled with the remaining parsley.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Haddock Fillets. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Rabble Pinot Gris with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Rabble Pinot Gris
Late morning fog, continually cool days and chilling afternoon winds add to a delicate yet flavorful wine. This Pinot Gris has a light golden color and a complex, fruit-scented nose that revealslayers of mango, jasmine tea, cinnamon, and cantaloupe. Smooth, light toasted walnut and honey balance the fruits, and give way to a crisp, lingering finish full of freshly cut grass and peaches.
