I made this healthy dinner dish called Wild Caught Salmon With Couscous for us and for our kind neighbor who shared a big slice of wild caught salmon that he caught recently.
It is so nice to have neighbors like him. My hubby took this plate to him and his wife as a thank you.
When they saw it they said – “It looks like a restaurant dish!”. I think it tastes even better than it looks.
I want to say a BIG Thanks to my dear friend who shared this Wild Caught Salmon With Couscous recipe with me.
Thank you Lana! It is one of the best salmon recipes I have ever tried.
Oven baked salmon covered with delicious white tomato sauce and served with warm couscous.
My whole family loved it.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
First lets prepare our wild caught salmon by rinsing it in the cold water, cutting it into desired pieces and placing it in the baking dish. Grease salmon with olive oil then season it with salt and pepper. Place it in the oven and bake for 6-10 minutes or until its cooked thru.
In a large skillet on a medium heat saute onion until it’s almost starting to caramelize and become translucent.
While onion is cooking lets chop and slice our vegetables.
Add tomatoes, garlic and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tomatoes break down.
Turn the heat on low then add heavy whipping cream (You don’t want to boil it because the cream will break apart into tiny curds). Add greens.
After salmon is done cooking you can break it into small pieces and add it into the pan of sauce cover with a lid and let it set on a low heat for 2-5 minutes so the flavors absorbs into the salmon, or you can serve it with a whole slice of salmon on top of couscous and then add sauce on top.
Either way it tastes amazing! Now grab a fork and enjoy this deliciousness!
