Method

  1. Heat water in a tier steamer. Season the couscous, then toss with 1 tsp oil. Pour boiling water over the couscous so it covers it by 1cm, then set aside. When the water in the steamer comes to the boil, tip the broccoli into the water, then lay the salmon in the tier above. Cook for 3 mins until the salmon is cooked and the broccoli tender. Drain the broccoli and run it under cold water to cool.
  2. Mix together the remaining oil and lemon juice. Toss the broccoli, pomegranate seeds and pumpkin seeds through the couscous with the lemon dressing. At the last moment, roughly chop the watercress and toss through the couscous. Serve with the salmon, lemon wedges for squeezing over and extra olive oil for drizzling, if you like.

    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....
