• Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat to 400F. Place 4 tilapia fillets (about 150 g each) in a pie plate with 1 cup dry white wine. Marinate at room temperature for 15 min. Lay 4 sheets of parchment (or foil) twice the size of fillets on counter. Fold each in half crosswise, then open and lay flat. Julienne 2 seeded plum tomatoes, 1 small Japanese eggplant, 1 small zucchini, 1 small onion and 1/2 yellow pepper. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.

• Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp red-chili flakes. Toss until coated. Stir 1/2 cup of dry whole-wheat couscous with 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Divide couscous among parchment sheets. Divide vegetable mixture and make a nest with each portion on top of couscous. Lay 1 fillet over each portion of vegetables. Discard marinade.

• Season tilapia with fresh pepper. Slice a lemon into 12 1/4-in. slices. Place 3 on each fillet, overlapping to fit. Fold each piece of parchment in half over the fillets. Double-fold all edges to seal completely and form a packet. Place packets on a large baking sheet. Bake in lower third of oven until vegetables are cooked, 20 min. Place packets on plates and serve.
