• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Cut brown onion into thick wedges. • Transfer veggies to a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
• While the veggies are roasting, pick and roughly chop mint leaves. • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• In a medium bowl, combine the honey, warm water and half the mint. Season.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add ras el hanout (see ingredients) and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the couscous) and vegetable stock powder. Stir and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides. • Cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Cook in batches for best results! • Turn salmon skin-side down again and spoon over the honey and mint glaze until completely coated. Remove from the heat. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• Divide the spiced couscous and roasted veggies between bowls. • Top with the honey-mint salmon and spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan. • Garnish with remaining mint and serve with lemon yoghurt. Enjoy!
