mediterranean salmon

Growing up my mom would make a big bowl of tabouleh and I would snack on it all week. This recipe is an ode to my childhood, but with a twist. I've used Israeli couscous which is much bigger than regular couscous, and I used a delicious blend of spices to make the salmon super flavourful and tender! This is a really light dinner that makes me excited for the summer!

Here's what you'll need!

Ingredients

Salmon Bunch of Parsley Half a Cucumber 1 Roma Tomato 1/2 Pack of Israeli Couscous Lemon/Lime 1 tbsp Maple Syrup Spice Mix 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil Salmon Rub Ingredients 1 Part Dried Cilantro 2 Parts Cumin 2 Parts Garlic Powder .25 Allspice .25-.75 Chilli Flakes (depending on how spicy you like it)

Instructions

1. Dice Cucumber, tomato, and roughly chop parsley

2. In a pot add 1/2tbsp of olive oil on medium heat

3. Once hot add couscous and let cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant

4. Once browning, add 1 1/4 cups of water and turn to high

5. Once boiling turn stove to low and cover

6. Stir every few minutes to check on it

7. While couscous is cooking, rub salmon with spice mix and maple syrup

8. I used the air fryer on the fish setting for 8 minutes, but if using the oven you can cook it at 350 for 10-12 minutes

9. In a bowl, add couscous to tomato, cucumber, parsley and combine

10. Add salt and pepper, lemon and some lime

11. Serve with salmon on top of couscous and Enjoy!
