We can never say no to couscous, especially when it gets the additions of currants and honey-lemon salmon. To cut through the richness, add an easy cherry tomato salad and a drizzle of creamy pesto dressing.

1

• Halve snacking tomatoes. Slice lemon into wedges. Roughly chop cucumber. Pick rosemary.

Make the jewelled couscous
2

• Boil the kettle. In a medium bowl, add couscous, currants and stock concentrate
• Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. 
• Fluff up with fork and set aside.

Cook 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. • Remove from heat, then add the honey, rosemary and a good squeeze of lemon juice, turning salmon to coat until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
