Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt in a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Trim snap peas. Halve tomatoes. Roughly chop parsley. Zest, then cut half the lemon into wedges (whole lemon for 4 ppl).

2
Cook couscous

Add couscous to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6-8 min. Drain and return couscous to the same pot, off heat.

3
Bake salmon

Meanwhile, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Top each piece of salmon with 1 tbsp pesto. Bake in the middle of the oven until salmon is cooked through, 6-7 min.**

4
Cook veggies

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then onions, snap peas and tomatoes. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook veggies in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 6-8 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Remove the pan from heat. Set aside.

5
Finish couscous

Add couscous, lemon zest, half the parsley and remaining pesto to the pan with veggies. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Divide veggie couscous between plates. Top with pesto salmon. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
