Salmon Power Bowl

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. salmon (2 fillets)
  • 1/2 lemon sliced, juiced
  • 1/2 cup couscous
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 dashes salt
  • 2 dashes pepper

Directions

  • Prepare the couscous: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes—fluff with a fork before serving.
  • Preheat the oven: Set it to broil and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
  • Season the asparagus: In a mixing bowl, toss the asparagus florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Prepare the salmon: Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice over the salmon fillets. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Roast the vegetables and salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the center of the roasting pan. Arrange the asparagus florets around the salmon. Broil in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust the broiling time based on your desired level of doneness for the salmon.
  • Assemble and serve: Divide the cooked couscous between two plates. Top each with a salmon fillet and a generous serving of roasted asparagus.

Notes
