Salmon and couscous salad by @recipesformax

This is one of my the easiest and healthiest recipes. You can eat it warm or cold (perfect for packed lunches).

ingr Ingredients

  • 1 small cup of couscous;
  • 2 salmon fillet;
  • 2 small tomatoes;
  • 1/4 cucumber;
  • 1 small red onion;
  • 10g fresh coriander;
  • Cappers, olives or any other extras you fancy;

method

Step by step

  • I usually cook salmon wrapped in aluminium foil in my electric grill or oven. This is the most healthy way of cooking salmon.
  • Cut all the vegetables into tiny cubes. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice, 2 table spoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Put the dry couscous into a large bowl. Bring a kettle of water to the boil and pour it over the couscous to cover by roughly 1cm. Be careful not to put too much water. Usually you should use 1 cup of water for 1 cup of couscous.
  • Stir to separate any clumps, cover with a lid and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork. Add the vegetables and salmon, toss and serve.
