**Now with more couscous! You asked, we listened: This isn't the HelloFresh you remember. Bigger menu. Upgraded recipes. Increased portion sizes. More variety. The best way to cook dinner just got BETTER.**
"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 tomatoes, sautéed green beans, 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 green beans if necessary.
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 1 cup water(2 cups for 4), stock concentrate, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to heat to low. Cook until couscous is al dente, 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess liquid if necessary. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3
While couscous cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add green beans and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring constantly, until evenly coated in oil, 30 seconds.
Carefully add ¼ cup water(½ cup for 4 servings) and cover with a lid. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until green beans begin to soften and turn bright green, 1-3 minutes.
Once liquid has absorbed, turn off heat. Taste and season with additional salt or pepper if desired; stir to combine.
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 green beans 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. Quarter tomatoes.
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 scallion greens, green beans, tomatoes, 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 zestycrema. Serve with remaininglemon wedges on the side.
