Salmon Limone

1

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick pieces.

2

• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous, scallion whites, and 1⁄2 tsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp for 4); cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes. • Add 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4), stock concentrate, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is al dente, 6-8 minutes. • Drain any excess liquid if necessary. Keep covered until ready to serve.

3

• While couscous cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

4

• Pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for zucchini over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crispy, 5-7 minutes. • Flip and cook until fish is opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from pan and set aside.

5

• While salmon cooks, zest and quarter lemon. Dice tomato. • In a small bowl, combine crema, 1⁄4 tsp lemon zest (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

6

• Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in zucchini, tomato, scallion greens, remaining lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide couscous between bowls or plates; top with salmon. Drizzle everything with zesty crema. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side. ***Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
