Hey guys, hope you're well. So this is another recipe from me and Tesco to help you guys get more
fruit and veg into your life and this is a great quick and easy recipe that I know you're gonna
love. It's inspired by the Mediterranean, it's a beautiful salmon fish stew. Couscous, tomatoes, lemon,
olives, parsley… It's so quick and easy, so let's do this. Pan, medium-high heat, I've got 2 beautiful
salmon fillets here and this is so good for us. It's been pin-boned but we've got the skin
on as well. I'll just add a tiny bit of olive oil and a little bit of seasoning, and we'll start to
cook this skin-side down for 2 or 3 minutes and it's gonna go really crispy like a crackling
and get nice and golden. So, couscous. I think couscous, if you've never had it, is a brilliant
thing to have at home. It's like a nice carb that you can do very, very quickly. It's quicker than
rice. Get a bowl and you want about 150g. All you have to do is pour boiling water over the top
and give it about a centimetre on top. We can give it a little bit of olive oil like that
and actually we can flavour it with many things, herbs. I actually like to use lemon zest and that
little bit of lemon zest will give it a freshness that will really cut through the fish later on. Put
a lid on top. It's just gonna swell up and steam and be light and delicious. So, look, this has had a
couple of minutes. You can see what the heat of the pan is doing to the fish. You can see
where it's changing colour here, that's where it's cooking the fish. So once it's got nice
and crispy, just use some tongs to turn it over. See how crispy that skin looks, absolutely amazing, and
I just want to fry it for 1 minute, not even that. So while that's just doing a little bit of cooking
I'm gonna slice up 2 cloves of garlic then remove the fish just for a second. That fish is
half-cooked which is great, that's what we want at the moment. We're gonna go into the pan with the
garlic. I'm gonna take a little handful of olives then I'm going to finely slice the courgettes
Go as fine as you can, get it into your pan. So let these fry off for a couple of minutes to get a
little bit of colour, soften up and become delicious. So, what we can add is a little bit of herb. I'm
using flat-leaf parsley. Nice little bunch like this, give it a little wash, finely slice the stalks
The stalks are really sweet and delicious. And then I'll kind of roughly chop the leaves
like that, really fresh and delicious. As we start to get a little bit of colour on the courgettes
here, we can turn it into our stew. Now what I like to do is just crush the tomatoes in my hand, of
course you can use a passata if you want, but you'll get better flavour from a whole plum tomato. So I
break that up and put it over my shirt, it always happens, don't worry. And then with this empty tin
I'm just gonna put some cold water in there, about half a tin, and I pour that straight in there. We'll
cook that out for like 5 minutes. Now look, the great thing I love about this one-pot
wonder, this fish stew, is you can make it your own, right. I'm going to give you the basic recipe
but like I'm using salmon, you know, if you're in Morocco or Spain they'd never use that. It'll
be local fish, white fish, prawns, you know, mussels, clams… You can really go to town and put a mixture
in there, but also on the veggies a little handful of peas, broad beans, a little asparagus… You can have
fun with this and in this dish you've already got 2 of your 5 fruit and veg a day. So as this
comes up to the boil I'm gonna go back in with these salmon fillets here. Place this into this
sauce, right. Turn it right down, just have a little squeeze of lemon juice, lid goes on top. About 5
minutes of gentle cooking is going to allow the salmon to absorb that flavour and also flavour the
sauce, and then I'll show you how to plate it up, you're gonna love it. So 5 minutes later
it's all done, it's that easy. I've turned the heat off actually and it's quite nice sometimes just to
kind of let it rest. So look, let me serve some up. The couscous is cool, fork it up, really, really nice.
Have a little look at this, gorgeous. Oh, it smells absolutely amazing. Take some of this sauce, the
salmon goes on top like that. So look at that, I've got the olives, a little bit of parsley
on top and then one thing I love to have with this is a little bit of yoghurt. It works so well, just
makes it heavenly. So there you go, that is a really simple recipe. My Mediterranean-inspired fish stew
with couscous, tomatoes, olives, courgettes, lemon, parsley. Come on! Let's get in there, wow!
The salmon is just flaking in the most beautiful way
So, guys, what are you waiting for? Get down to Tesco, get the ingredients
and have a little cook-up. You will not regret this, I promise you
