2 Tbsp capers, chopped
3 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together the parsley, raisins, olives, capers, pine nuts, olive oil, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; stir in the couscous to moisten completely and season generously with salt and pepper.

Put the salmon in a single layer in a smallish buttered gratin dish or baking dish (10x7 1/4) the fillets should not touch one another. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oilve oil. Now spoon the couscous mixture over the top of the fish so that is completely covers them and fills in the whole dish at the same time. Pour over th water. Drizzle with olive oil. Put the dish in the oven and bake 25 minutes. Use a large spoon to spoon out the salmon and the couscous.

Note: 1 c couscous plus 1 1/3 c water is a better quantity to serve 2 if you have a smaller gratin dish or baking dish remaining quantities are the same.
