TIP: Omit chilli, if preferred. Broccolini can be replaced with broccoli, just cut into small florets.

Ingredients

1 bunch broccolini (200g), trimmed

¼ cup natural almonds, chopped

¼ cup olive oil

1 long red chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced

2 tsps mild curry powder

2 x 180g boneless salmon fillets, skin on

1 chicken stock cube

¾ cup pearl couscous

1 tblsp lemon juice

Method

Place broccolini, almonds, oil, chilli and curry powder in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well. Spread evenly over half the base of a roasting pan lined with baking paper.

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place, skin-side down, on the other half of the pan.

Cook in a very hot oven (220C) for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked and broccolini is tender. Remove.

Meanwhile, dissolve stock cube in 1 cup of boiling water in a small saucepan. Add couscous. Bring to boil. Simmer, uncovered, for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove.

Toss couscous with broccolini mixture in a bowl. Stir in juice. Serve with salmon.
