Ingredients
- Salmon fillets4 pcs
- Harissa paste2 tbsp
- Honey2 tbsp
- Olive oil1 tbsp
- Lemon1 pcs
- Dry couscous1.5 cups
- Vegetable broth1.5 cups
- Shelled pistachios0.5 cups
- Fresh mint1 bunch
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, and the juice from half of the lemon until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the glaze generously over each fillet and let them marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the glaze is beautifully caramelized.
While the salmon is baking, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the hot broth over the dry couscous in a heatproof bowl, cover tightly, and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
Roughly chop the pistachios and fresh mint. Fold them into the fluffed couscous along with the remaining lemon juice. Serve the warm, glazed salmon on top of the vibrant couscous bed.
