Servings: persons

1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped green olives
2 tablespoons capers, chopped
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups couscous (see note)
2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets skinned
2 cups water

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2
In a large bowl, stir together the parsley, raisins, olives, capers, pine nuts, olive oil, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; stir in the couscous to moisten completely and season generously with salt and pepper.
3
Put the salmon in a single layer in a smallish buttered gratin dish or baking dish (bottom measured 10 by 7 1/4 inches; 2.8 liter); the fillets should not touch one another.
4
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil.
5
Now spoon the couscous mixture over the top of the fish so that it completely covers them and fills in the whole dish at the same time.
6
Pour over the water.
7
Drizzle with olive oil.
8
Put the dish in the oven and bake 25 minutes.
9
Use a large spoon to spoon out the salmon and the couscous.
10
Note: 1 cup couscous plus 1 1/3 cups water is a better quantity to serve 2 if you have a smaller gratin dish or baking dish (remaining quantities are the same).
