Instructions
1
Pour one cup of water and some salt into a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling add the cup of couscous and turn off the heat. Let it stand until it hydrates.
2
Wash the zucchini and chop it. Thinly slice the pumpkin and mince the garlic. Add some olive oil to a pan or skillet along with a pinch of salt and sauté the vegetables over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until tender. Once cooked, remove from the pan.
3
Add a little more oil to the same pan or skillet and cook the salmon fillets. Add salt.
4
Add the couscous to a bowl followed by the vegetables you set aside and finish with the salmon fillets on top.
Tips & Tricks
You can add chopped cilantro on top of the salmon when plating.
Cook the salmon in the oven, if you prefer, instead of the stovetop.
