Harissa salmon with zesty couscous

This no-fuss fish supper is quick enough for midweek, and it's heart-healthy and low calorie too

Ingredients

• 2 skinless salmon fillets
• zest and juice 1 orange
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 tsp rose harissa (depending on how spicy you like it)
• 100g couscous
• ¼ cucumber, finely diced
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• small pack parsley, chopped, or 1/2 handful mint
• 1 tbsp flaked almond, toasted (optional)

Directions

• STEP 1

  Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and arrange the salmon in a shallow ovenproof dish. Mix the orange juice with the oil and harissa, then pour over the salmon and bake for 10-12 mins until the fish flakes easily, but is still moist.

• STEP 2

  Meanwhile, put the couscous in a pan with the orange zest, 200ml water and a sprinkling of salt. Heat until the water bubbles round the edges of the pan, then cover and turn off the heat. After 5 mins, tip the couscous into a bowl, add the cucumber, onion, parsley and almonds (if using) and toss together ready to serve with the salmon and spicy juices.
