Ingredients

5 g (2 tsp) garlic, finely chopped

5 g ( 1 1/2 tsp) ginger, finely chopped

3 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar (or sugar substitute for lighter version)

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp lime juice (pretty much the juice of 1 lime)

2 salmon fillets (around 150g each)

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced

1/4 courgette, thinly sliced

100 g (1/2 cup) couscous, uncooked

200 ml (1 cup) chicken stock

2 spring onions, thinly sliced


Method


  1. Mix the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, turmeric powder, sesame oil and lime juice until well combined.

  2. Marinate the salmon for 30 minutes in the mixture.

  3. Cut 2 foil squares (12 in x 12 in) and place spring onion, carrot and courgette in the bottom. Top with one salmon fillet and start folding to make a packet, add the remaining marinade and close.

  4. Note: if you've got some spare time, you can sear the salmon on both sides in the frying pan to add a bit of colour and extra flavour but it's not essential. 

  5. Pop them into the air fryer at 200ºC (400ºF) for around 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 58ºC (140ºF).

  6. Heat the chicken stock until boiling and cover the couscous with it, let it rest while the salmon is baking. About 5 minutes before removing the salmon from the oven, shake off the couscous with a fork.

  7. Serve the salmon and veggies over the couscous and top with spring onions and fresh coriander.
