Ingredients
2 Salmon Fillets
½ Fennel bulb, finely chopped
1 large Tomato, deseeded & finely chopped
1 small Leek, finely chopped
1tsp fish sauce
2 lemons
100g Couscous
Knorr vegetable stock pot
2 spring onions
Salt & Pepper

Method

Pre heat the oven at 220c

Place the salmon skin side down and cut the lemon into slices and lie along the length of the salmon, apply the fish sauce to each piece, also the zest of a lemon. Add the Fennel, leeks and tomato, splitting the mix between the two salmon. Season well. Loosely fold the parcel and fold over at the top to allow the steam to escape. Cook for 20 mins.
10 mins before the end of the cooking time, prepare the couscous, add the stock cube to 200ml of boiling water, mix and add to the couscous, mix well then cover and stand for 10 mins.
Plate up with a bed of couscous and carefully remove the salmon from the foil remembering it will be very hot, de-skin it and cover with the cooked veg from each parcel. Add lemon juice as required. Serve with a salad.
