Heat Moro Tradicional Olive Oil in a heavy based saucepan and sauté couscous for 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Add boiling water and salt, cover and simmer 10-12 minutes until water is mostly absorbed and couscous is tender. Stir in spinach and capsicum and stand covered for 5 minutes, until spinach has wilted. Allow to cool.
Cut 6 pieces of baking paper into 30cm squares. To make each parcel, line a shallow bowl with a square of baking paper and fill with 1/6 of the couscous mixture. Top with a fish fillet and 2 tablespoons chermoula. Bring corners of paper together and twist tightly to enclose the fish.
Remove the parcel from the bowl and place in a baking dish.
Repeat to make 6 parcels. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes and serve each parcel on individual plates.
