Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place chopped veggie mix on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes (the veggies will continue to cook in step 2!)

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

2

• Boil a kettle of water. Remove the oven tray and add salmon, skin-side down, to the tray. • Spoon basil pesto over the salmon. Bake until salmon is just cooked through, 8-10 minutes.

3

• Meanwhile, add the couscous and vegetable stock powder in a large bowl. Add boiling water (see ingredients) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and set aside, 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork. Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted, 1-2 minutes.

4

• Add roasted veggies and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to couscous. Toss, then season to taste. • Divide roast veggie couscous between plates. Top with basil pesto baked salmon.
