[NEW] Cashew Salmon With Apricot Couscous

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Whisk together yogurt sauce ingredients and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add apricots, ginger, and salt. Cook, stirring, until softened (2-3 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 (5 minutes).
  3. Place oven rack in the highest position and set broiler to high.
  4. While couscous absorbs water, rub salmon with salt and pepper. Broil the salmon, turning once, until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF (3-4 minutes per side).
  5. Serve salmon over the couscous, topped with yogurt sauce and cashews.

Chef's Practical Notes

Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
