Instructions

1

Mix the Ras-el-Hanout with 2 tsp of olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the salmon and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Leave to rest until we’ve done a bit more of the prep.

Prepare the veggies
2

Peel and finely dice the red onion. Finely chop the mint leaves. Finely chop the vine tomato into cubes (½cm small if your knife skills allow!).

Cook the onion
3

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan on medium-low heat. Add the red onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly cook with a lid on the pan for 20 mins until soft and sweet. Tip: Check back to make sure they are not sticking to the pan and add a dash of water if they are.

4

Once the red onion is cooked add 250ml of water to the pan. Once it comes to a boil add half the stock and remove the pan from the heat. Add the couscous into the pan and stir everything together. Place a lid on the pan for 5 mins whilst you cook your fish.

5

Pre-heat your grill to high. Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat. Get the pan nice and hot before placing the salmon in the pan, skin side down. Cook for 4 mins without touching the salmon.

Cook the salmon
6

Take the salmon off the hob and place it on the top shelf under the grill. Leave it for 4 mins, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from under the grill and add a couple of teaspoons of butter (if you have some and feel decadent!). Squeeze a couple of tsp of lemon juice and spoon over the salmon.

Grate in 1⁄4 tsp of lemon zest
7

Stir the chopped mint and tomato into the couscous. Pour any juices from the pan into the couscous and stir. Grate in ¼ tsp of lemon zest (more if you want it really citrussy).

8

To serve, place the couscous into your bowl, top it off with your salmon and squeeze over a little more lemon juice.
