Salmon with Roasted Red Peppers , Asparagus Lemon Couscous with a Saffron Butter Sauce



I love Salmon, it's a feel -good food for me. Maybe it's the Omega :) I love this dish... it's simple, quick and wonderful flavor.


Ingredients :

Salmon filets - season with French Grey Sea salt, fresh cracked peppers, smoked paprika. Broil in a  oven for about 5-7 minutes, turn off oven, let it sit in the hot oven  to finish cooking.  Check for doneness before you remove.


Red peppers - seeded and stem removed.  Brush with olive oil, char slightly over a grill for about 3-5 minutes.  Remove from grilled, rub off the charred areas of the pepper. Julienne the peppers.

Diagonally slice asparagus into small pieces,   boil in a pot of salted water for about 3 minutes.  Remove.   Cool on iced water to retain green color. 

Prepare couscous according to directions on the package. ( I used chicken broth instead of water)  It's takes almost no time for couscous to cook.   When the couscous is done, add the asparagus to the pot  of couscous, add zest of a lemon, cracked pepper and grey sea salt., about 2 tablespoon of olive oil and chopped parsley.

In a heated pan, add 3-4 table of butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a few strands of saffron, a sprinkle of smoked paprika and  cracked pepper.


Assemble of plate as shown in photo.

Enjoy Every Bite !
