Limone is Italian for lemon, so you know this dish is going to have plenty of citrusy flavor. We start with tender, butter-toasted Israeli couscous, upgraded with juicy tomato, sautéed zucchini, and a double dose of lemon zest and juice. It’s all topped with pan-seared salmon dusted with our Italian seasoning. Drizzle with a lemony crema for the finishing touch!

Preparation
1
• Wash and dry produce.
• Trim and thinly slice scallions,
separating whites from greens. Trim
and quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut
crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces.
2
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for
4 servings) in a medium pot over
medium-high heat. Add couscous,
scallion whites, and ½ tsp Italian
Seasoning (1 tsp for 4); cook, stirring
occasionally, until lightly toasted,
2-3 minutes.
• Add ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), stock
concentrate, and a pinch of salt. Bring
to a boil, then cover and reduce to a
low simmer. Cook until couscous is
al dente, 6-8 minutes.
• Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
Keep covered until ready to serve.
3
• While couscous cooks, heat a drizzle of
oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan
over medium-high heat. Add zucchini;
cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly
browned and softened, 3-4 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
• Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe
out pan.
4
• Pat salmon* dry with paper towels.
Season all over with remaining Italian
Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used
for zucchini over medium-high heat.
Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook
until skin is crispy, 5-7 minutes.
• Flip and cook until fish is opaque and
cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.
Remove from pan and set aside.
5
• While salmon cooks, zest and quarter
lemon. Dice tomato.
• In a small bowl, combine crema, ¼ tsp
lemon zest (½ tsp for 4 servings), salt,
and pepper.
6
• Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in
zucchini, tomato, scallion greens,
remaining lemon zest, and a squeeze
of lemon juice. Season with salt
and pepper.
• Divide couscous between bowls or
plates; top with salmon. Drizzle
everything with zesty crema. Serve with
remaining lemon wedges on the side.
***Salmon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145º.***
