a real hot pocket

we used this recipe from Alton Brown to make one of our favorite one dish meals!
i used talapia, instead of red snapper
it calls for 2 tsp salt, which seemed like a lot to me. i only used 1tsp and it turned out salty enough
i omitted the oregano, because i forgot it!
instead of the halved grape tomatoes, i used canned roasted tomatoes
instead of artichoke hearts, i used kalamata olives

the cous cous around the edges tends to dry out, so i removed the fish, added a bit of hot water, tossed the cous cous, and baked it just a bit longer.

i have made the recipe and followed the directions, and found it to be great, but i think i liked this version better. it is nice to be able to switch out ingredients for what i have around, or what is in season
