Salmon with Roasted Carrots and Couscous

Preparation

Step 1: Roast the carrots

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Peel the carrots and cut them into equal-sized pieces. Toss them with oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them for 20 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 2: Prepare the couscous

Bring water to a boil and pour it over the couscous. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork until the grains are light and fluffy.

Step 3: Cooking the salmon

Heat a little oil in a skillet. Cook the salmon over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until it’s just cooked through. Don’t overcook it—that way, it’ll stay juicy.

Step 4: Add lemon

Grate some lemon zest and squeeze half the lemon. Mix this into the couscous for a fresh flavor. Taste it and add a little salt or pepper if needed.

Step 5: Serving

Spoon the couscous onto plates, top with the roasted carrots and salmon, and drizzle a little extra lemon juice over it. Serve immediately, while still warm.
