Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Finely chop garlic. Cut carrot and parsnip into bite-size chunks. Cut onion (see ingredients) into wedges. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• When the veggies have 15 minutes remaining, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir through lemon pepper spice blend. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, place the garlic and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Microwave in 10 second bursts or until warmed through. • Transfer half the garlic oil to another small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and stir to combine. Season to taste and set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • 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. (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• To the couscous, add the roasted veggies, baby leaves, remaining garlic oil and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste.
• Divide roasted veggie couscous between bowls. Top with spiced salmon. • Drizzle with garlic yoghurt and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
