Cooking steps
1
- Pour the couscous and stock into a bowl. Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml).
- Cover with a plate or cling film. Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Sprinkle over half the Italian herbs.
- Cook for 4-5 mins, turn over, and cook for 3-4 mins on the other side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.
3
- While the fish is cooking, place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the onion, leek and garlic, remaining Italian herbs and fry until softened stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add the spinach and allow to wilt. Pop in the creme fraiche and tomato pesto.
- Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Divide the couscous between bowls.
- Top with the creamy tomato pesto sauce, then the salmon.
- Finally, scatter the almonds over the top.
