Salmon With Lemon Couscous Recipe

This fabulous and healthy recipe for salmon with lemon couscous is special enough for company. The recipe is also easy enough for even beginning cooks to make. When you're broiling salmon, you need to watch it every minute. The fish can go from perfectly cooked to overcooked to burned in a matter of seconds. Fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 f, which is medium, so that means salmon that's pink in the center is okay. You could make this recipe with tuna fillets as well, or any other type of white fish fillet. Red snapper or haddock would also be delicious in this recipe. Couscous is not a grain, but a tiny pasta commonly made in the middle east. You don't actually cook it; you rehydrate the little beads in hot liquid. Using chicken broth adds extra flavor to this special recipe. You could also use fish stock if you'd like. Also, think about using other vegetables in this easy couscous recipe. Some baby peas would be nice, as would steamed asparagus cut into 1" Pieces. You could also flavor it with other herbs. Thyme or basil is always nice with fish, especially salmon. Or if you like spicy food, stir some crushed red pepper flakes into the couscous and sprinkle it on the salmon. Serve it with roasted asparagus, a green salad, and meringues with low-fat yogurt for dessert.
