Preparation
1
Cook couscous

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. 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.

2
Prep

While couscous cooks, trim, then halve green beans. Halve tomatoes. Roughly chop parsley. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3
Roast salmon

Top each piece of salmon with 1 tbsp pesto. Roast in the middle of the oven until salmon is cooked through, 10-12 min.

4
Cook veggies

While salmon roasts, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then green beans and tomatoes. 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 pan from heat. Set aside.

5
Finish couscous

When couscous is done, add couscous, half the parsley and remaining pesto to the pan with veggies. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Divide veggie couscous between plates. Top with pesto salmon. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
