1
Prepare the Couscous
In a saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the couscous and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
2
Prepare the Haricot Vert
In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the haricot vert for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.
3
Prepare the Salmon
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the apricot preserves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the apricot glaze generously over each filet.
4
Bake the Salmon
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Sauté the Red Onion
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
6
Assemble the Dish
On each plate, serve a portion of couscous topped with the sautéed red onion, followed by the baked apricot salmon. Arrange the haricot vert on the side.
