Preparation
Boil the couscous
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the couscous to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until tender. Drain and rinse. Transfer to a bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping; season with S&P.
Fry the salmon
Meanwhile, pat the salmon* dry with paper towel and rub with oil; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Add to the air fryer basket and fry, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked as desired. Transfer to a plate.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, core and medium-dice the sweet pepper. Medium-dice the tomato. Roughly chop the roasted pepper. Mince the garlic.
Sauté the sweet pepper & tomato
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the sweet pepper and tomato. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until tender; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the couscous salad
To the bowl of couscous, add the sweet pepper, tomato, roasted pepper and S&P; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the couscous salad between your plates. Top with the salmon. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
