Salmon Recipe with Saffron Couscous Crust and Tomato & Olive Vinaigrette | Delia Smith

Delia Smith prepares a delicious Salmon with a Saffron Couscous crust and Tomato & Olive Vinaigrette.

This is a great way to bring some variety to making salmon, by using a couscous soaked in wine & saffron, as a crust. Very often we use couscous as a salad or a side, this is a great way to use it as part of the main with a delightful Tomato & Olive Vinaigrette to add subtle flavour to the meal.

Serve with a Mediterranean green salad.
