Seared Skillet Salmon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Glaze

   In a small bowl, mix together molasses, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Couscous

   In a saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and mix in chopped herbs.

3. 3

   Grill the Asparagus

   Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

4. 4

   Sear the Salmon

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon, brush with the molasses-mustard glaze, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

5. 5

   Prepare the Crumble

   In a small bowl, mix sesame seeds and chopped pistachios.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the seared salmon on a bed of herb couscous, serve with grilled asparagus, and sprinkle with sesame-pistachio crumble.
