Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.

2
Roast Brussels Sprouts

  • Toss Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

3
Cook Couscous

  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous, half the garlic, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until couscous is toasted and garlic is fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

  • Add stock concentrate and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered until ready to serve.

4
Season & Cook Salmon

  • While couscous cooks, pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon to pan, skin sides down. Cook until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes.

  • Flip and cook until salmon is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.

5
Make Sauce

  • Dice 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) into ½-inch pieces.

  • In a small bowl, combine mustard, juice from two lemon wedges, 1 TBSP water, ½ tsp sugar, and as much lemon zest as you like. (For 4, use juice from four wedges, 2 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar.)

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for salmon over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

  • Whisk in lemon-Dijon mixture. Add diced butter one piece at a time, whisking constantly, until butter has melted and sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes more.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Stir ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) into pot with couscous until butter melts. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

  • Divide couscous and Brussels sprouts between plates. Top couscous with salmon; drizzle with lemon-Dijon sauce. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
