Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Zest and halve the lemon.
  • Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot and bring to the boil. Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins. Add the peas for the final 2-3 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Stir through half the Mediterranean spice and a knob of butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set to the side until ready to serve. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Start Frying
2
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a generous knob of butter.
  • Add the shallots, garlic, remaining Mediterranean spice and lemon zest to the butter.
  • Cook until the butter begins to brown, 2-3 mins. 
  • Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay the fillets skin-side down in the pan and cook for 4-5 mins. Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
Char the Peppers
3
  • Place another pan over high heat with a generous drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the padron peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and slightly charred, 4-6 mins.
  • Once cooked, remove from the pan and season to taste with salt. Remove the stems before plating, if desired.
Divide and Serve
4
  • Divide the peppers and pearled couscous between plates.
  • Top the couscous with the salmon spooning over any remaining butter from the pan.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
