Cooking Steps

Roast the pumpkin
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
  • Slice red onion into wedges.
  • Cut pumpkin into 1cm-thick wedges.
  • Place onion and pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over paprika spice blend, season with salt and toss to coat
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!

Get prepped & make the couscous
2
  • Meanwhile, slice lemon into wedges.
  • In a small bowl combine hummus and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside.
  • When the pumpkin has 10 minutes remaining, place Moroccan-style couscous in a large bowl.
  • Add the boiling water and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff up with fork and set aside.
Make the salmon
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
  • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side.

TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

Finish & serve
4
  • Divide Moroccan-style couscous and pumpkin between bowls. Top with salmon.
  • Crumble over fetta cheese and tear over parsley.
  • Dollop with herby hummus and Greek-style yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
