This Mediterranean-style salmon roast is the perfect celebration food, feeding a crowd of eight to 10 people! If you have leftovers, you can mix it up and add a dressing to turn it into healthy a lunch salad.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2 Place salmon on prepared tray. Combine breadcrumbs and pesto in a bowl. Season with cracked black pepper. Scatter breadcrumbs over salmon. Arrange tomatoes, courgettes, onion and olives around the salmon. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, put couscous in heatproof bowl. Add 1¼ cups boiling water. Cover and stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a fork to separate couscous grains. Season with cracked black pepper and stir in lemon juice.
4 Serve salmon with couscous, roasted vegetables and rocket.
If you can’t find wholemeal couscous just use plain.
How to cook a salmon fillet
1 Run your fingers along the piece of salmon, checking for bones. Use pliers to pull bones out at a 45° angle.
2 Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in a large baking tray — cut large fillet in half if it doesn’t fit.
3 Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake salmon for about 20 minutes for medium-rare, or 25–30 minutes for well done.
