- 40 g cashew kernels
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp peanut oil
- 2 tbsp rice wine
- 2 tbsp honey
- salt
- cayenne pepper
- 1 cucumber

- lemon juice
- 1 red onion
- 20 g sprouts
Instructions
- 1. Rinse the salmon steaks under cold water. Then pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
- 2. Put the couscous in a bowl. Pour boiling vegetable or fish broth over it. Let the couscous swell for about 10 minutes.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Use the setting for top and bottom heat.

- 6. Place the salmon steaks on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush the fish with half of the sauce mixture.
- 7. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. Then turn the steaks over.
- 8. Brush the turned salmon steaks with the remaining sauce mixture. Finish cooking them in the oven for another 5 minutes.
- 9. Let the salmon rest for a few more minutes in the turned-off oven if necessary, so it stays cooked.
- 10. Wash the cucumber. Cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds from the cucumber halves and dice them finely.
- 11. Pluck the mint leaves from the stems. Mix the mint and the diced cucumber into the swollen couscous.
- 12. Add some lemon juice to the couscous salad. Then distribute the salad onto the plates.
