In a small bowl combine softened butter, parsley and garlic. Pat dry the salmon and place it on a lined baking tray. Use half the flavoured butter (the rest will be used in the couscous) and spread it over the the salmon fillets. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Boil a kettle.
In a jug, add stock and 11⁄2 cups water. To the roasting pan with the pumpkin pour the couscous directly into the roasting pan with the pumpkin and onions still in it.
