There are just some nights when a fast dinner is needed. This recipe is not only fast but healthy. All my kids really liked this. The original recipe calls for this to be served over puff pastry but since I don't keep puff pastry on hand and we're trying to eat healthier I switched to using a seasoned couscous as the base.
Salmon & Pesto with Couscous:
1-2lbs salmon cut into portions (as much as needed for your family)
2TB pesto per piece of salmon
Chopped fresh tomato
2 cups couscous (measure dry then cook)
1-2 TB lemon juice
1-2 TB parsley
Salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400. Place salmon on foil lined baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook couscous according to package. When couscous is ready toss with lemon juice, parsley, salt & pepper. To serve place salmon on top of each serving of couscous top with pesto and chopped tomato.
Mmmmm, this sounds yummy! I love salmon but we haven't had any for a long time. Maybe I will have to get some soon. :) The larabars recipe also sounds like one I need to try! We are working toward healthier eating too . . . baby steps! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe love Salmon too but it can be so expensive. We used to have this more often but now it takes almost 2lbs to feed our family (Ethan usually eats more than Matt :) ) so it's more of a treat now.
