1 pound carrots (about 6 medium), quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/8 inch thick diagonally

1 cup uncooked couscous

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1 tablespoon olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

4 skinless salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, mix together carrots, couscous, almonds, raisins, mint, oil, 1 1/4 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Place salmon fillets on top of couscous mixture; season generously with salt and pepper. Cover pan with foil; bake until fish is opaque throughout, 30 to 35 minutes.
