Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine all of the spices (from the sea salt to the cayenne). Set aside.

On a large greased baking tray, spread out the squash and toss with the oil. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, and stock and sprinkle with half of the seasoning and then toss to coat. Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and stir in the chickpeas and spinach. Place the salmon on top of the squash and chickpea mixture and sprinkle the remaining spices over top of the tray. Place back in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.

While the salmon bakes, cook the couscous according the packing directions. Drain and set aside.

Once done, take the salmon tray out of the oven. Place the salmon fillets on a separate plate and mix the couscous and cilantro into the squash and chickpea mixture.

Spread the mixture evenly among four plates and top with the salmon plus a bit more fresh cilantro if desired.

ENJOY!!!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Spices First 🌶️
Toast the spice mixture in oil for 30-60 seconds before adding liquids to unlock deep, complex flavors and prevent raw spice taste in your final dish.
Salmon Skin Side Down Last 🐟
Place salmon skin-side up initially for even cooking, then flip skin-side down in the final 2-3 minutes to crisp the skin and lock in moisture.
Cut Squash Uniformly Small ✂️
Dice butternut squash into ½-inch cubes so it cooks in the same 15-20 minutes as the salmon, ensuring perfectly tender vegetables without mushy couscous.
Couscous Absorption Timing ⏱️
Add couscous in the last 5 minutes only, allowing it to absorb the flavorful broth without becoming overcooked or mushy in the residual heat.
Cilantro as Final Seasoning 🌿
Reserve half your cilantro to stir in after cooking—fresh cilantro added at the end brightens the warm spices and adds a vibrant finishing touch that cooking destroys.
