Instructions
Bake tomatoes and salmon:
Preheat oven to 200 C / 400 F. Line a large rimmed baking tray with baking paper.
Place cherry tomatoes, onions and olives in the baking tray. Add garlic, balsamic vinegar and oil. Toss to coat the tomatoes, onions and olives in the vinegar mixture. Arrange them along the edges of the tray. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Make 3-4 shallow cuts into the thickest part of both sides of fish. Season well with salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Fill the cavity of fish with lemon slices and rosemary. Place prepared trouts evenly spaced in the center of the tray.
Transfer the baking tray to oven, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the trouts are cooked through and tomatoes begin to burst. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the fish.
Make couscous:
Place ½ cup couscous in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water. Season with salt. Stir gently. Cover tightly with a lid and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes. Using a fork fluff couscous and break up any clumps.
