Cooking Steps

Roast cauliflower
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut cauliflower into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add cauliflower, onions, Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven for 18-22 min, stirring halfway until tender. 
Cook couscous
2
  • To a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, if you like. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
Prep
3
  • Meanwhile, peel, pit, then cut mango into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Zest, then juice lime.
  • Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chilies!)
  • To a medium bowl, add mango, half the chilies, half the cilantro, half the lime juice and 1 tsp (2 tsp) olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Sear fish

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While pan heats, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tsp (2 tsp) olive oil over fillets.
  • Sprinkle coconut over one side of salmon, gently pressing with fingers to adhere.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil, then salmon, coconut side down. Reduce heat to medium. Pan-fry for 3-5 min per side, until salmon is cooked through.** 
Finish and serve
