SPICY HARISSA SALMON WITH COUSCOUS & GREEK YOGURT DRIZZLE
Quick. Full of flavour. High in protein and definitely not the kind of meal that feels like ādiet foodā.
And If you train 1-1 with me, youāll get a brand-new recipe like this every single week, because getting results isnāt just about what we do in the studio.
Itās about helping you feel confident with what youāre doing outside of it too.
So, hereās this weekās recipe š

š INGREDIENTS
⢠2 salmon fillets (120ā130g each)
⢠1½ tbsp harissa paste
⢠120g wholewheat couscous
⢠½ cucumber, diced
⢠Small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
⢠Juice & zest of 1 lemon
⢠150g full-fat Greek yogurt
⢠1 small garlic clove, grated/crushed
⢠1 tsp olive oil
⢠Salt & pepper
šØāš³ METHOD
1. Get the couscous ready
Add the couscous and a pinch of salt to a bowl. Pour over 180ml boiling water, cover and leave for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, then stir through the cucumber, parsley, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
2. Get that salmon cooking
Pat the salmon dry, then rub generously with the harissa paste.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and cook the salmon for around 3ā4 minutes each side, depending on thickness, until golden and cooked through.
3. Make the drizzle
Mix the Greek yogurt with the garlic and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Season with a little salt and pepper.
4. Bring it all together
Divide the couscous between two plates, top with the salmon and finish with a generous spoonful of that cool, creamy yogurt drizzle.
Scatter over some extra parsley and dig in.
WANT TO SWITCH IT UP?
Add roasted peppers or courgette for some extra veg.
Want a leaner option? Swap the salmon for chicken breast strips.
Or for a little extra zing, finish with pomegranate seeds or a drizzle of pomegranate molasses.
Good food. Simple ingredients. Plenty of flavour.
Because eating well doesnāt have to mean eating boring food.
