Bursting with peppery herbs and bright citrus, tonight's butter sauce really enhances the flavours of the crispy-skinned salmon. Serve over a sweet and earthy roast veggie couscous with an extra zesty hit of lemon, plus almonds for crunch - and complete the dish with a dollop of the yoghurt for creaminess and tang.

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Cut carrot and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer and roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Zest lemon and slice into wedges. Finely chop herbs. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add Greek-style yoghurt to garlic oil mixture and whisk to combine. Season to taste.
To a medium saucepan, add the water and vegetable stock powder. Bring to the boil, then add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, then stir in the lemon zest, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of pepper. Set aside, uncovered.
While couscous is cooking, return frying pan to medium heat. Add the butter, stirring occasionally, until slightly brown with a nutty aroma, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, then immediately pour into a small bowl. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice, the honey and herbs. Season, then stir to combine.
Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Pat salmon dry with paper towel, then season both sides. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
TIP: Patting the salmon skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
Stir roasted veggies and slivered almonds through couscous. Divide nutty roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with salmon. Drizzle lemon-herb butter sauce over salmon. Dollop over the garlic yoghurt to serve.
