    1 To make marinade, mix half the oil, 4 tablespoons orange juice and garlic in a jug. Place salmon in a non-metallic dish. Add marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

    2 Place couscous in a large bowl and pour over stock. Cover and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Add salmon and pan-fry each side 4-5 minutes until tinged golden. Set aside to cool with any pan juices, then break salmon in bite-sized chunks.

    3 Use a fork to fluff couscous. Add kidney beans, chickpeas, peas and onions. Mix well. Add salmon with reserved pan juices. Stir lightly.

     4 Mix remaining orange juice and oil together. Season with pepper. Pour over couscous salad. Serve warm or cold.

    Variations

    Instead of vegetable stock, try garlic stock cubes or powder. For an even cheaper option, use vegetable water from cooking vegetables.
