1
Prepare the Couscous
In a medium pot, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add the couscous and a pinch of salt, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
2
Cook the Asparagus
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus spears and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the Salmon
In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the Ora King salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
4
Make the Sauce Pistou
In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly add the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
5
Plate the Dish
On each plate, place a serving of couscous, top with sautéed asparagus, and lay the salmon on top. Drizzle with sauce pistou before serving.
