Salmon Limone

over Herbed Couscous with Zucchini & Grape Tomatoes

5 min
Difficulty: 1/3

Limone is Italian for lemon, so you know this fish dish is going to have plenty of sunny, citrusy flavor. But that’s only the start of it: there are veggies and herbs and beautiful salmon fillets, too. Bubbly Israeli couscous is toasted in butter and simmered with broth until al dente, that then gets upgraded with juicy grape tomatoes, sautéed zucchini, and plenty of lemony flavor. It’s all topped off with flaky salmon dusted with our Italian seasoning and pan-seared.

Preparation
1
Prep

  • 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
Cook Couscous

  • 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
Cook Zucchini

  • 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
Cook Fish

  • 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. Turn off heat; remove from pan and set aside.

5
Finish Prep & Make Sauce

  • While salmon cooks, zest and quarter lemon. Dice Halve grape tomatoes.

  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, ¼ tsp lemon zest (½ tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

6
Serve

  • 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 crema. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
