Suzanne’s Salmon Sauté with Pine Nut Couscous

slmetcal — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000

My inspiration for this recipe came from my husbands favorite chicken dish. The story behind this recipe is that hubby and I were on a business trip staying in a hotel with a kitchenette. The kitchenette is very small so we do not have an oven to bake in. We do have a cook top and a microwave. I just could not get behind the idea of nuking salmon even though they are individually wrapped and package says they are microwavable. For those of you wishing to cut your prep time down can buy your veggies pre chopped if you choose. I do 9 times out of 10. For those who cannot eat pasta feel free to substitute Quinoa or Brown Rice if you wish. Another note you can cook your salmon a number of ways this was the easiest way considering all we had was a cook top and a microwave.

4 Salmon filets

1 red pepper chopped

1 yellow pepper chopped

1 green pepper chopped

parsley for garnish (Fresh or Dried) I use dried

1 box pine nut couscous (Quinoa or Brown Rice Can Be substituted)

1 pkg crumbled sundried tomato feta cheese

1 tbsp lemon juice

mrs dash garden herb seasoning no salt added season to taste

Cook your couscous rice or Quinoa in Chicken Stock following directions on the box.

Combine your feta cheese, peppers, and lemon juice and set aside.

Season with Mrs Dash and Sauté your Salmon until it flakes usually 10 min.

Once your couscous, rice, or Quinoa is done combine that with the

Feta, Pepper Mixture and garnish with Parsley. Top your fish with the

leftover Feta, Pepper Mixture.

Dijon mustard gives the topping a nice kick and balances the richness of the salmon fillets. Lemon juice in the spinach salad offers another bright note.
