Prep time 35 min
Servings: 4
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
3 scallions, sliced, greens and whites separated
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground organic cumin
3/4 tsp sea salt, divided
1/2 tsp coarse ground organic pepper, divided
1 Tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger (or organic garlic granules)
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup whole-wheat couscous
4 (6 oz each) wild salmon fillet portions, cut into 4 portions
1/4 cup raw organic cashews, chopped and toasted (see Tip)
Preheat grill to medium-high or position rack in upper third of
oven and
Combine yogurt, scallion greens, lemon juice, cilantro, cumin,
1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger, scallion
whites and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, about
2 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in
couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until the liquid
is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, rub salmon with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt
and pepper. If broiling, coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
If grilling, oil the grill rack*. Grill or broil the salmon until
browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve
with the couscous, topped with the yogurt sauce and cashews.
Tip:
To toast chopped cashews, cook in a small dry skillet over
medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and
lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
*Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and brush it
over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
