Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins, or until just tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the couscous with the lemon zest and juice of ½ lemon (reserve the remainder for the salad), 2 tbsp boiling water and the oil. Cover and leave to absorb for 5 mins, then season to taste, and stir in the tarragon.
Press the tops and sides of the salmon fillets into the couscous to coat. Bake for 15 mins, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, drain the potatoes and return to the pan with the butter, remaining lemon juice and some seasoning; mix well.
Toss the potatoes with the remaining salad ingredients. Divide between plates and serve with the salmon.
