HERBY SALMON & COUSCOUS PARCELS

Steps:

• Put the couscous into a bowl and stir in the stock and oil. Cover with cling film and leave to stand 10 mins, then uncover and fluff up with a fork. Keeping back some herbs, add the rest of the ingredients, except the salmon. Season to taste.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut two large sheets of non-stick baking paper, then divide the couscous between them. Sit each fillet on the couscous, top with the remaining herbs and season. Fold the paper over, then twist the edges to seal - like a Cornish pasty. Pop the parcels onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins or until the fish feels firm through the paper. Serve in the bag.

SALMON AND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Put your couscous in a bowl, then pour over just enough water to cover it.
• Set aside for 3 minutes to allow the couscous to soak up the water.
• Slice the salmon widthways into finger-size or twofinger-size strips (I've made 3 out of each fillet), drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan and add the courgettes, asparagus tips and chilli. The vegetables will need 2-5 minutes, depending on their size and on your taste.
• Heat another non-stick frying pan and add the salmon strips (non-skin side first). They will need one minute on each side.
• Mix the tomatoes, lemon juice, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and the coriander into the couscous and season to taste.
• Add the couscous to the veggies in the pan and mix.
• Put the salmon strips on top of the couscous, place a lid on and put back on a high heat for a minute.
• Serve:.
• Slide everything on to plates and spoon over some sour cream.
