This is a healthy meal that is delicious warm over nice crisp greens or chilled as a salad itself. The recipe calls for fresh salmon, but boneless, skinless canned salmon works as well. Ingredients:
1 lb salmon fillet |
1 cup couscous (i use whole wheat) |
1 cup water |
salt |
pepper, fresh cracked |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (approx. two lemons) |
1 cup fresh parsley, minced |
2 medium tomatoes, diced small |
1 medium red onion, diced small (optional) |
Directions:
1. Season the salmon fillets with a little salt and pepper.
2. Spray a hot saute pan with cooking spray and place the fillets in the pan.
3. Saute salmon on both sides until nicely browned and flaky. Remove and set aside.
4. Boil 1 cup of water with approximately 1 teaspoon of salt.
5. Once boiling, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat for 5 minutes.
6. Add the couscous, salmon, chopped tomato, parsley, onion (if using), oil, and lemon to a large bowl.
7. Toss lightly to combine and add salt and pepper to taste.
8. NOTE: Additional lemon and/or olive oil may be added if you prefer a wetter tabouli. I usually add extra lemon because I love it!
