Preparation
1
Prep

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.

2
Roast Carrots

• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown 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 couscous until tender, 6-8 minutes. • Keep covered off heat 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 salmon until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. • Flip and cook until 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 1⁄2-inch pieces. • In a small bowl, combine mustard, 1 TBSP water, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, juice from two lemon wedges, and as much lemon zest as you like. (For 4, use 2 TBSP water, 1 tsp sugar, and juice from four wedges.) • 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 mustard 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 1⁄2 TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) into pot with couscous until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Divide couscous and carrots between plates in separate sections. Top couscous with salmon and drizzle salmon with lemon-Dijon sauce. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and any remaining lemon wedges on the side. ***Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
