Heat a large saucepan coated in cooking spray on a medium heat. Add garlic, cayenne, cumin, cinnamon, half the basil, cilantro, and oregano. Give it all a stir and put the fish fillets on top. Add the tomatoes and beans and carrots. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon. Put a lid on the pan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

By the time the fish is cooked, the couscous should have sucked up all the water and be ready to serve. Spoon the couscous into a large serving bowl and give it a stir with a fork to help it fluff up. Top with the fish, vegetables, and juices from the pan, sprinkle with the reserved basil leaves and chives.
