  • 3 skinless salmon fillets

  • 0.5 red pepper (about 60g), roughly chopped

  • 0.5 yellow pepper (about 60g), roughly chopped

Method

6 steps

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Wrap the salmon fillets loosely in kitchen foil and place on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Cook for 20 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, put the broccoli, red pepper, yellow pepper, carrot and courgette into a food processor; blitz until very finely chopped, as if you were making pesto.

  3. Step 3

    Mix together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and garlic; set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Cook the couscous as per the pack instructions. Combine the lemon dressing with the cooked couscous and stir in the blitzed raw veggies.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the salmon from the oven, flake through the couscous (check for any bones); serve.
