Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch half-moons. Roughly chop half the dill (all for 4 ppl). Zest, then juice half the lemon (juice whole lemon for 4 ppl. Cut any remaining lemon into wedges. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add zucchini, tomatoes, half the garlic and 1 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven until veggies are tender-crisp, 8-12 min.
While veggies roast, add couscous to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6-8 min. Reserve 2 tbsp pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return couscous to the same pot, off heat.
While couscous cooks, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Sprinkle lemon zest over top, then season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then salmon. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.
Add reserved pasta water, remaining garlic, dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl both for 4 ppl) to couscous. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Divide couscous, salmon and roasted veggies between plates. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
