Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. In a small bowl mix 2 tbsp of the pomegranate molasses with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, half the garlic and some seasoning. Put the salmon on an oiled baking tray and brush with the mixture. Cook for 15-18 minutes, basting with leftover glaze once or twice until cooked.
  2. Bring the stock and zest to the boil in a large pan and cook the couscous according to the pack instructions. Drain, put in a bowl, then drizzle with olive oil and cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and garlic with the lemon juice, then season and mix into the couscous with most of the herbs and the pomegranate seeds. Serve the fish, drizzled with the remaining molasses, with the warm couscous and the remaining herbs.
