Method
- Preheat the oven to the broil setting.
- Prepare the steamer by filling the base with water according to manufacturer's directions.
- Combine the couscous, 11/2 cups water, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper to taste in the plastic cooking insert and place in one of the steamer baskets.
- Combine the Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and carrots into the other basket.
- Set the cooking plate on top of the baskets.
- Season the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the Essence.
- Place the salmon on the cooking plate and place the steamer top on.
- Set the timer for 12 minutes.
- Cook the salmon and couscous, undisturbed, until the timer goes off.
- While the salmon and couscous are cooking, make the tomato sauce.
- In an oven-proof, baking dish, place the tomatoes, garlic cloves, lemon juice, lemon zest, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and toss well to blend.
- Place the pan under the broiler and cook until wilted and the tomatoes are caramelized, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve while hot.
- When the timer goes off, the salmon should be just cooked through, moist and tender.
- Remove the salmon from the steamer.
- Remove the vegetables from the steamer and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Allow the couscous to remain in the steamer until the steamer goes off, about 4 minutes longer.
- Remove the couscous and fluff with a fork.
- Serve the salmon fillets over the warm couscous, with the tomato sauce spooned over the top of the salmon and the vegetables on the side.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
