Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of pearl couscous with 1.5 cups of vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- While the couscous cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Season 2 salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add salmon to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and zest of one lemon with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked couscous, fresh herbs, and lemon dressing. Toss gently until combined.
- To serve, scoop the herbed couscous onto a plate, top with the salmon, and drizzle with any remaining lemon dressing. Serve warm.

Notes
For optimal texture, store couscous and salmon separately if storing leftovers. Use broth for cooking couscous for enhanced flavors.
