Ingredients: 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 small cauliflower with leaves, cut into 8 wedges; 1 lb (450 g) salmon fillet with skin, cut into 8 pieces; 2 1/4 cups (560 ml) water; 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil; 1 1/2 cups (270 g) pearl couscous; 1 lemon, zest finely grated; 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice; 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey; 1 lb (450 g) cherry tomatoes, various colours, halved; 1 fennel bulb, cored, thinly sliced on a mandoline; 2 green onions, thinly sliced; 1/2 cup (15 g) dill fronds, finely chopped, plus more for serving; 1/2 cup (15 g) flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus more for serving

Preparation

Cauliflower and Salmon
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the oil with the spices. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower. Mix gently with your hands to coat the cauliflower well. Spread the cauliflower out on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 minutes or until the cauliflower is starting to brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the salmon pieces to the cauliflower on the baking sheet and brush lightly with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the salmon is just pink at the centre. Let cool. Remove the skin from the salmon, if desired.
Salad
- Meanwhile, in a pot, bring the water and 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil to a boil. Stir in the couscous. Season with salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed. Spread the couscous out on another baking sheet.
- In another bowl, whisk together the remaining oil with the lemon zest and juice, and honey until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, fennel, green onions and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread the couscous out in a large serving dish and arrange the tomato salad over the couscous. Top with the cauliflower and salmon. Sprinkle with more herbs.
