How to Make Apple Braised Salmon With Citrus Spiced Couscous

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. While couscous cooks, heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper; cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Place salmon fillets on top of the apples. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour orange and lemon juice over the salmon. Dot with butter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in chopped parsley.
  9. Serve salmon over couscous. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
