Preparation
1
Cook the Couscous

  • Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Leave to the side until ready to serve, remove the lid so the couscous can cool slightly.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Get Prepped

  • Meanwhile, chop the tomato into 1cm chunks.
  • Trim the cucumber, quarter lengthways and chop widthways into small pieces.
  • Quarter the lemon. Roughly chop the olives.

3
Sear the Salmon

  • Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper. Season with Middle Eastern spice, salt and pepper.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the salmon, skin-side down.
  • Cook on one side for 4-5 mins then turn over and cook for 3-4 mins on the other side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.

NOTE: Swapping to basa? Season as instructed and fry in a hot pan, 4-5 mins on each side.

4
Dress the Salad

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chopped olives, cucumber and tomato with a squeeze of lemon juice to the bowl. Season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if required.
  • In another bowl mix the tahini with the harissa paste, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of oil to make a runny consistency.
  • Season with saltpepper and more lemon juice if required.

5
Finishing Touches

  • When the salmon is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and add the honey.
  • Turn to glaze the salmon in the honey.
  • Add the couscous to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumber.
  • Toss together until everything is equally distributed.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, if required.

6
Serve and Enjoy

  • Divide the couscous between bowls. 
  • Top with the glazed salmon.
  • Finish by drizzling over the tahini sauce.
  • Serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
