Salmon is a robust fish with a great flavour, so it can handle the decked-out couscous we’re serving it with. The humble grain becomes a spectacular side with the addition of sweet roast veggies, a zesty hit of lemon, plus slivered almonds for crunch.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Cut carrot and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell if it's cooked when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a large frying pan, heat olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl, then allow to cool for 5 minutes. • Add Greek-style yoghurt to garlic oil mixture and combine. Season to taste.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and vegetable stock powder, then bring to the boil. • Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil, then stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork. Add a pinch of pepper and set aside.
• While the 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 butter into a small heatproof bowl. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and the honey. 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-butter sauce over salmon. Dollop over the garlic yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
