Make it tonight - healthy and vegetarian - by Barbara Northwood

Salmon With Tahini Sauce
Prep: 20 Minutes - Cook: 10 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

This colourful salmon supper is ready in just half an hour, served on a bed of couscous with crunchy cucumber, pomegranate seeds and a tahini sauce.

Ingredients

140g/5oz couscous

4 skinless salmon fillets

1 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp tahini

2 lemons, 1 juiced, and 1 cut into wedges

1 /2 cucumber, chopped into small pieces

1 pomegranate, seeds only

small pack flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Tip the couscous into a large heatproof bowl and pour over 400ml boiling water. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for 8-10 mins while you cook the fish.

  2. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and fry for 5 mins on one side or until opaque halfway up the side of the fillet. Flip the fillets over carefully and cook for another 1-2 mins or until cooked through, then remove from the heat.

  3.  Mix the tahini with the lemon juice and a splash of water to make a sauce.

  4. Drain any excess water from the couscous and tip into a bowl, adding the cucumber, pomegranate seeds and parsley. Serve the salmon on top of the couscous, with lemon wedges on the side and the tahini sauce poured over or served alongside.
