Preparation
- Pour the oil into the French oven; add the salt, peppercorns, cayenne, thyme, slices of lemon, garlic, and bay leaves and heat on low to barely a simmer, around 140° F (60° C) on the thermometer, letting the ingredients cook in the oil for 15 minutes
- Then, liberally salt the salmon filets before submerging them into the oil. Cook, covered, on low heat for anywhere from 9–17 minutes, depending on their thickness. Therefore, thinner filets could take as little as 5 minutes, thicker from 10–17, so keep watch. Slice into the middle of 1 filet to check that it is done to your taste. Note that if it needs to cook longer, keep the filets in the hot oil for another 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the couscous by boiling the water in a saucepan. Pour in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat.
- After 4 minutes, uncover and fluff with a fork. Toss in the tomatoes, avocado, and onion. Combine the oil, vinegar, and salt and pour in the pan and mix with a fork to coat.
- To serve, transfer the salmon to paper towels to drain. Place a piece of the olive oil poached salmon on each plate, drizzle with a little of the poaching liquid, top with pieces of poached lemon, and scatter capers around. Spoon a mound of couscous to the side and lean a wedge of lemon into the couscous.
This dish can be easily served in a bowl.
