  • 2 tbsp spicy harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small glass bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and smoked paprika until smooth.

Roast for 12–15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

While the fish roasts, toast the pearl couscous in a saucepan with olive oil until golden brown.

In a separate heavy-bottomed skillet, sear the lemon slices until caramelized and charred.
