Salmon and Zucchini Couscous

in

The salmon and zucchini couscous is a dish characterized by grains of durum wheat semolina with a diameter of one millimeter.

As you rehydrate them with hot water, the grains will become larger.

The version I leave you with is based on fish and vegetables.

A combination of ingredients that blends wonderfully.

Delicious to enjoy both hot and cold.

Ingredients

Let’s see what is needed to make this recipe

  • 10.5 oz zucchini (about 7/8)
  • 4.5 oz salmon (canned in oil, natural or smoked is fine)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste fine salt
  • 2 cloves garlic (without the central germ)
  • to taste chopped parsley
  • to taste olives (to your liking)
  • 5.25 oz raw couscous
  • 10.5 oz water

Tools

  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Bowl

Steps

  • Clean and slice the zucchini into rounds.

    Place them in a pan with two garlic cloves without the germ, salt, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of EVO oil.

    Lightly wilt these ingredients.

    Add a little water and let it cook.

    When the zucchini are almost done, add the salmon cut into pieces to the pan.

    I used natural salmon, but you can choose whichever you prefer.

    Raise the heat a little and mix the ingredients well.

    When they are slightly golden, turn off the stove and set them aside for a moment.

  • In a bowl, pour the couscous grains and pour hot water over them.

    The recipe on my package said to prepare it this way, you should follow what’s written on yours.

    Once the water is added to the grains, I waited exactly 6/7 minutes.

    During this waiting time, the grains absorbed the water and increased in size.

    I added the warm dressing to the couscous and before plating, I also chopped the olives and added them to everything else.

    Are you ready to enjoy this delight?

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
