Ingredients

  • 2 skinless salmon fillets

  • zest and juice 1 orange

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1-2 tsp rose harissa (depending on how spicy you like it)

  • 100g couscous

  • ¼ cucumber, finely diced

  • 1 small red onion, finely diced

  • small pack parsley, chopped, or ½ handful mint

  • 1 tbsp flaked almond, toasted (optional)

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and arrange the salmon in a shallow ovenproof dish. Mix the orange juice with the oil and harissa, then pour over the salmon and bake for 10-12 mins until the fish flakes easily, but is still moist.

  2. Meanwhile, put the couscous in a pan with the orange zest, 200ml water and a sprinkling of salt. Heat until the water bubbles round the edges of the pan, then cover and turn off the heat. After 5 mins, tip the couscous into a bowl, add the cucumber, onion, parsley and almonds (if using) and toss together ready to serve with the salmon and spicy juices.
