Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 salmon fillet skin-on
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced
  • ½ red onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add peppers and onions and saute for about 5 minutes or until they become soft. Sprinkle the vegetables with half the salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika. I just eyeball this.
  2. Add coucous and stir a minute. Add one cup of water and bring to a boil. When boiling remove from heat, place lid on and let sit for five minutes. Add orange zest.
  3. In a cast iron pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Place salmon on a plate and sprinkle with remainng salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika. Again you can kind of eyeball this. Rub all the spices into both sides of the salmon.
  4. Place salmon skin side down in heated pan and leave for about five minutes on first side. Turn and cook a remaining 5 minutes or so depending on thickness of the salmon.
  5. Serve salmon over the couscous. Sprinkle with the fresh orange juice.

Notes

  • Couscous is not gluten-free.  If you prefer gluten-free replace it with quinoa or rice.
