Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup couscous
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3-4 cups spinach or salad mix
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup plum or cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • Balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if they have skin. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness, or until cooked through.*
  • Meanwhile, cook couscous with chicken or vegetable broth according to package instructions, usually 10-15 minutes. 
  • To assemble the salad, place a handful of spinach or salad mix in each bowl and top with a spoonful of couscous, half a salmon fillet, 1/4 of an avocado, a spoonful of tomatoes, and top with dressing. 

Notes

*Alternately you can place salmon, skin-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 4-5 minutes per side (removing skin with tongs once you flip), until cooked through. This method works just as well and keeps you from having to turn on the oven!
