  • Prep: 15 min
  • Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 200 g salmon
  • 30 ml aioli
  • 2 g mint
  • 150 g pearl couscous
  • 1 unit onion
  • 1 unit zucchini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 500 ml water
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pearl couscous in an ovenproof dish, add water and salt, and bake on the top rack for 20–25 minutes. Remove and fluff with a fork.
  2. Peel the onion, cut it in half and dice into small cubes. Using a peeler, make zucchini ribbons and cut the inner flesh into 1–2 cm cubes. Mince the garlic and half of the mint.
  3. Place the salmon on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 5 minutes. Top the salmon with aioli and gratinate for another 5 minutes until cooked through and golden.
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add the onion and zucchini cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes until translucent.
  5. Add the couscous to the pan with the vegetables, most of the mint and the zucchini ribbons, and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  6. Serve the vegetable couscous on the bottom of the plate and top with the gratinated salmon with aioli. Sprinkle with the remaining mint.
