Method:

To make herb vinaigrette, add parsley, basil and spinach leaves to olive oil and allow to steep for eight minutes. Process in a blender until smooth, then strain through a cheesecloth. Set aside.

To make couscous salad, bring water to a boil, adding saffron. Once boiling, add couscous and cook for six minutes or until pasta is tender. Drain and allow to cool, then mix with artichoke hearts, red pepper, scallion, parsley and olive oil.

To make salmon, heat grill to 400 degrees. Grill salmon eight minutes on each side. Serve with couscous salad, then drizzle herb vinaigrette over dish.
