Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp ras el hanout

JEWELLED COUSCOUS

  • 100g couscous
  • 25g raisins
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp runny honey
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • a handful sugar snap peas, halved
  • 1 Little Gem, cut into pieces
  • ½ a small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • ½ a small bunch coriander, chopped
  • a handful pomegranate seeds
  • a handful toasted flaked almonds

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the couscous, raisins and a pinch of salt into a bowl, and pour over 200ml of just-boiled water. Cover and leave for 10 minutes, then fluff up with a fork. Cool.

  • STEP 2

    Add the oil, lemon juice and honey, and mix really well. Add the red pepper, sugar snaps, Little Gem and herbs, and toss well again.

  • STEP 3

    Lightly coat the salmon fillets in oil, then put the ras el hanout with lots of seasoning onto a plate and roll to coat.

  • STEP 4

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes or until really crisp. Flip the salmon and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and leave to cook gently for another minute.

  • STEP 5

    Divide the couscous salad between two plates and rest the salmon fillet on top. Sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and flaked almonds to serve.
