Instructions
For the salmon:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the seasonings for the salmon in a small bowl.
- Pat the un-seasoned salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to draw out excess moisture.
- Sprinkle about 1 tsp. of seasoning on top each piece of salmon. Add more or less based on preference and gently press seasoning into the salmon.
- Place salmon into an oiled cast iron skillet. Place lemon slices around salmon.
- Bake for ~12-15 minutes or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. To air fry: prepare normally with the seasonings, then spray a little olive oil on the tops of the salmon. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes or until salmon is cooked and flaky. You may need to air fry in batches.
For the Mediterranean Couscous Salad
- Make the mediterranean vinaigrette dressing. Reserve about 1/2 cup and use the rest for the salad. In a large bowl, mix the cooked and cooled pearl couscous with all of the veggies. Add the dressing and stir to combine.
For the salmon topper
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Once the salmon is done, spoon the remaining dressing over the salmon to add some moisture in to the salmon. Place a spoonful of the kalamata/olive mixture on top of each salmon prior to serving and serve with couscous salad. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Cooked salmon will last in the fridge for up to 3 days.
