Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup couscous
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
Prepare the blueberry glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and brush with the blueberry glaze. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Prepare the couscous: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions. Generally, this involves boiling water, adding the couscous, covering, and letting it sit for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and mix in chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
Assemble the dish: Serve the salmon over a bed of lemon herb couscous, drizzled with any remaining blueberry glaze, and top with your choice of garnishes.
