  • 31st May 2025
  • by thefoodwife

Serves 1

One pan and your dinner is ready in 20 minutes, yes please! This recipe is for one person but easily scales up. You will want to use a deep baking dish (ideally metal otherwise the timings might not work) and a suitable size for the portion.

Ingredients:

100g giant couscous

200ml hot vegetable stock

1 salmon fillet

1 tsp rose harissa paste

1 lemon (juice)

2 handfuls of watercress, roughly chopped

Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 180c fan.

Step 2: Put the giant couscous in an even layer in the baking dish. Carefully lay the salmon skin side down on top of the couscous and spread the harissa paste on the top. Next, gently pour the hot stock around the salmon to cover the couscous but not over the salmon.

Step 3: Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Remove from the oven, carefully take the salmon out of the dish and then stir the lemon juice and watercress through the hot couscous. Spoon onto your plate and top with the salmon. Serve immediately.
