Mediterranean Salmon with Greek Salad & Couscous

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the Greek salad:

• 1 cucumber, peeled, sliced
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 5.3 oz. (150g) cherry tomatoes halved
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. Greek yogurt
• ⅛ tsp. black pepper

For the couscous:

• 10 fl oz. (300ml) water
• 6 oz. (170g) couscous

For the salmon:

• 4x 6 oz. (170g) salmon filets
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 1 medium lemon, sliced
• 1 tbsp. parsley, chopped

What you need to do

1. Place the sliced cucumbers into a medium-sized bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes, then drain off the excess liquid. Add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Greek yogurt and pepper; mix well and set aside.
2. To make the couscous, pour the water into a small pot, bring to the boil and add the couscous. Stir the couscous then cover the pot with a lid, remove it from heat and set aside for at least 5 minutes to allow the couscous to fully absorb the liquid. Then fluff the couscous with a fork and set aside.
3. Set the broiler (grill) to high. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
4. Place the salmon filets onto the baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, then place a lemon slice on top of each filet. Place the sheet under the broiler and cook for 8-14 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakey.
5. To serve, divide the couscous and salad equally between 4 plates. Place a salmon filet on top of the couscous, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
