Method

  • step 1

    Heat water in a tier steamer. Season the couscous, then toss with 1 tsp oil. Pour boiling water over the couscous so it covers it by 1cm, then set aside. When the water in the steamer comes to the boil, tip the broccoli into the water, then lay the salmon in the tier above. Cook for 3 mins until the salmon is cooked and the broccoli tender. Drain the broccoli and run it under cold water to cool.

  • step 2

    Mix together the remaining oil and lemon juice. Toss the broccoli, pomegranate seeds and pumpkin seeds through the couscous with the lemon dressing. At the last moment, roughly chop the watercress and toss through the couscous. Serve with the salmon, lemon wedges for squeezing over and extra olive oil for drizzling, if you like.

I couldn't get the pumpkin or pomegranate seeds so instead I used sun dried tomatoes which also worked very well!

Really, really delicious! Wonderful mix of flavours.

But a word of warning for people on calorie restricted diets - the calorie count here is severely underestimated. I made it to the letter and ended up with portions just under 600 kcal each...

Add a little less water to the couscous and dry the broccoli with kitchen towel before adding (otherwise a bit wet). Add pomegranate seeds at the very last minute as they will stain your couscous. Otherwise very tasty!

Tried this as a cold salad in my lunchbox as part of the Healthy Diet Plan and thought the flavours were very bland. Will try to spice it up next time with some sundried tomatoes.
