Instructions

1 In a large bowl combine diced pepper, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, balsamic
vinaigrette, salt, pepper, garlic powder, juice from 1 lemon. Mix together and
then set the bowl to the side to allow your veggies to marinate.
2 Place two cups of water into a small pot and bring the water to a boil. Once
boiling, add your couscous to the pot and allow to cook for 10 minutes or until
the water has been absorbed. Stir every minute or so.
3 While waiting for the water to come to a boil, heat a large stovetop pan to
medium heat. While the pan is heating season your salmon with lemon pepper.
4 Once your pan is hot, spray the pan with non-stick spray. Then place your salmon
into the pan. (If you have skin on your salmon, skin side down.) Cook for 3-5
minutes on the first side. Then flip your salmon and turn the heat down to
medium-low, cover your pan with a lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
5 While your salmon and couscous are cooking you can start plating your veggies.
Spoon your veggies and the juices at the bottom of your bowl into your serving
dish. Those juices are going to add additional flavor to your couscous and
salmon.
6 Once your couscous is cooked, add your diced cilantro to the couscous and give
it a gentle stir to fluff your couscous. Then plat the couscous on top of your
veggies.
7 Once your salmon is cooked to your liking, plate it on top of your veggies.
8 Finish with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a wedge of fresh lemon.
