SPICE-CRUSTED SALMON WITH COUSCOUS SALMON
I love salmon and couscous and this recipe from Australian BH&G Diabetic Living looks like a corker. UPDATE 24th February 2012 - made this recipe for the DM and myself but did use basil instead of corainder as we really don't care for it but the basil was a good match with the tomatoe and cucumber, unfortunately no radishes so gave a good grind of fresh black pepper (helped a little). My fillets were just under 200 grams each so allowed an extgra minute, though only 30 seconds would have been perfect still had that pink and was not dry. For the rub mix oh the flavour was sublime but only used about half of it on our 2 fillets so if you are not planning on using the rub mix again would halve for one of use (but could depend on how much mix you like to rub in).

PAN SEARED SALMON AND COUSCOUS
A Cook's Illustrated recipe from "The Best 30 Minute Recipe". This one uses Israeli couscous, so take note. What's phenomenal is the lemon drizzle sauce. It ups the composition 10 fold.

Steps:
- Preheat the over to 200 degrees. .
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Preheat 2 tablespoons olive oil to smoking over medium high heat in a nonstick 12 inch skillet.
- Place the fillets in the skillet (flesh side down if skin is on) for five minutes. Don't move them around. Wait to form a nice caramelized crust.
- Place seared fillets (flesh side "up" if skin is on) in a baking dish and put on the middle rack of your 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes. This will be long enough for the salmon to cook all the way through.
- Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels and put back on medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
- Add the couscous to the skillet and stir over the heat until the grains are toasted and light brown. (This is a little tricky. This can go from "raw" to "burnt" in about 2 minutes once the first grains turn tan).
- When the grains are toasted, add the shallots, lemon zest and minced garlic; stir and cook until fragrant ( 30 secs to 90 secs).
- Add the water to the skillet (slowly to avoid splattering) and let the mixture come to a boil. Cover the skillet and let cook for about 12 minutes (long enough for the couscous to absorb all the liquid).
- Once the salmon is in the oven and the skillet full of cous cous is simmering, make a lemon scented chive flavor "drizzling oil" by whisking together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice and the minced chives. (This sauce makes the dish.).
- When salmon is cooked through and couscous has absorbed all the liquid, add the frozen peas to the cous cous and remove from heat. The peas will defrost in a couple of minutes (golden raisins work well, too).
- Serve the salmon fillets on beds of couscous and pour a bit of the drizzling lemon-oil over each serving. Salt and pepper to taste.
