Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice plus more for the couscous
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds salmon filets 4 even size pieces
  • 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 ½ cups plain or whole wheat couscous
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds
  • lemon slices and/or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Reserve ¼ cup of the mixture by placing it in another small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Arrange the salmon pieces down the center of the baking sheet and drizzle/brush with the lemon juice mixture, saving the reserved ¼ cup for the asparagus. Place salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and add the asparagus along the sides of the pan. Drizzle asparagus with the reserved ¼ cup lemon juice mixture and toss gently to coat.
  • Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for about 10 minutes, until salmon is cooked through. If desired, turn on the broiler during the last 2-3 minutes of baking to help the salmon and asparagus brown on top. Season with more salt and/or pepper, to taste, as needed.
  • While the salmon and asparagus cook, prepare the couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork. Top couscous with a squeeze of lemon juice, sliced almonds and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve alongside salmon and asparagus, with additional lemon slices and parsley as desired.
