This is a lovely vibrant dish, full of colour and flavour. The harissa gives the salmon a spicy edge that works so well with the fluffy couscous.
Ingredients
- 1 packet of Goldsteins fresh salmon
- 2 tbsp of harissa
- 1 mug (300g) of couscous
- 500ml of vegetable stock
- 2 mixed-colour peppers
- 1 fresh red chilli
- ½ a bunch of fresh dill
- 200g frozen peas
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 40g feta cheese
- 1 lemon
Method
- Start by turning on the oven to 200C and boil the kettle
- Put the couscous into a bowl with a pinch of salt
- Make up a stock using the boiling water and a veggie stock cube
- Add stock to the couscous, give it a stir and cover
- Take your salmon and place onto a baking tray
- Cover salmon with harissa and put into the oven for 15-17mins (until cooked through)
- Meanwhile remove the stalk and seeds from the peppers and chilli, then pulse in the processor with the dill until finely chopped
- Scatter over a large tray or platter
- Add the peas to the veg (if using frozen peas, blanch them in boiling water for a couple of minutes first)
- Squeeze over the juice of half a lemon and drizzle with olive oil
- Fluff up and scatter over the couscous, toss well and season to taste
- Crumble over the feta
- Add the cooked salmon
- Serve with tzatziki, olives and warmed flatbreads.
Variations
If you are not a fan of heat/spice then just seasoning the salmon with salt, pepper and lemon zest would work well. Try replacing the harissa with a mix of salt, pepper and paprika if you don’t have harissa to hand.
