Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat 4 salmon fillets dry, then top each with 1/2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp salt. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Squeeze juice from 1 large lemon into a bowl, then add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill. Brush half over salmon. Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, bring 1 cup chicken broth to a simmer in a saucepan. Stir in 1 cup couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  4. Step 4: Fluff couscous with a fork, then stir in remaining 1 tbsp dill and 1 tsp lemon zest. Serve salmon on a bed of lemon-herb couscous with extra lemon wedges.
