- Let stand for 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
- Stir gently with a fork to separate grains and fluff couscous.
- Stir in coriander, orange zest, 1 teaspoon butter, sea salt and pepper.
- Cover until ready to serve.
To cook salmon:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan until very hot.
- Lift salmon from the marinade, adding to the hot pan.
- Cook 2 minutes, gently turn and cook further 2-3 minutes until still pink in the middle.
Assembly:
- Toss rocket in a little olive oil, place a handful on each plate.
- Spoon the couscous in the middle of the rocket, top with the salmon fillet.
- Sprinkle with a little of the chopped coriander, add 2 lime wedges to the side and serve.
Tetley Tips:
- Couscous can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave.
- Salmon should still be pink in the middle; make sure to not overcook it.
