  Sounds really good. I get a nice piece of salmon every couple of months - I reckon I'll try this recipe (with modifications) next time. I'm not sure about the seeds (pomegranate or pumpkin), but I'm sur I can have a nice leaf salad and garlic bread instead.

  I loved this recipe as a lunchtime treat or a light supper. It has sutle flavours that work really well together. The pomegranate seeds made it for me. I think I was a little over generous with the watercress which could have taken over slightly - but hey I love watercress. Enjoy.

  This was a very refreshing dish. The pomegranate seeds addition was lovely, although they discoloured my fingernails and a week later they are still in the same state after much scrubbing.

  Good, but not so sure about the conflicting textures, pomegranite seeds a bit too chewy I think...

  I was really looking forward to this meal - I just wasn't convinced by the pomegranate...will make it again but leave it out - maybe substitute another fruit??

  Hmmm... I used giant couscous, watercress and a bit of spinach I had in the fridge. I think the flavours are right but the texture of hard seeds and frog-spawn like pomegranate feel wrong. I was wondering what other people use in their combination? I was thinking I would probably just go down the savoury route. Maybe some tomatoes or something like that....

  If you use Qiunoa instead of cous cous its even healthier as it is high in protien and low in carbs

  Loved the pomegranite in this - though I absolutely LOVE pomegranite usually. Loved the sweet and savoury combo too.

  My husband and I are currently trying to loose weight and I came across this recipe. I must admit that I omitted the pomegranite, and added baby asparagus along with the brocolli and masses of watercress. I am not mad keen on salmon, but the other taste combinations mean that I don't find this too 'fishy'. All in all a good recipe, (with a few tweaks) and one I will do again.

  LOVE this recipe. So tasty and easy to make. I used dried cranberries instead of pomegranite and added spinach to the watercress.
