I made this dish today because a friend came over and was craving for roast chicken. I thought that roast chicken is very simple so I decided to make this one again instead. Needless to say that it was a success. I had plenty of leftover dry rub, so I gave half to him and kept half for myself.
Remembering the dry rub that my cousin J did for her salmon crisps, I thought I'd use this dry rub on salmon and also slow cook it. Yup, it came out delicious too.

Steps:
Preheat the oven to 120C. Mix the dry rub together. Wrap a cooling rack with foil. Pat the salmon fillets with the dry rub. Try to pat a thick layer, it helps absorb onto the salmon. Place this in the oven and let cook for 20-30 minutes or until done to your liking. I like mine a little pink in the middle. It makes the salmon very moist and succulent.
I had this dish with a very simple Roasted Vegetable Couscous that I make almost every other week.
Ingredients:
3 carrots, chopped to 1/2 inch chunks or into rounds
2 zucchinis, chopped a bit thicker than the carrots
1 red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
To sprinkle on the top of the veggies:
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons sea salt or more to taste
cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup couscous - I used spelt
Hot water
Steps:
First, make the roast veggies. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place all the chopped veggies and seasonings on top. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the veggies are tender. While the veggies are roasting away, make the couscous by putting it in a bowl and cover with enough water about 1/4 inch above the couscous. Let it stand for 5 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Once the veggies are cooked, put them in the bowl with the couscous. Mix together and serve warm!
