Steps:
- Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan or skillet over
- medium heat for 1 minute. Add the salmon steaks, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the flesh is nicely browned and crispy. Turn the salmon steaks over, and another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots to the pan and cook together with the salmon for another minute. Add the capers, olives, lime juice, and white wine. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve immediately on a bed of Couscous with Roasted Tomato. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of Chili Vinaigrette over each salmon steak just before serving.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them, cutside down, on a baker's rack set in a roasting pan and placed in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the skins can be easily plucked off the tomatoes, using your fingers, a pair of tongs, or a fork.
- Drizzle the peeled tomato halves with olive oil and return them to the 200 degree oven for another 11/2 hours, until the tomatoes are roasted to a dark red. The excess moisture will have evaporated, and the remaining tomatoes will have a delicious concentrated flavor and aroma.
- Prepare the vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, honey, jalapeno, cumin, scallions and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk together thoroughly before slowly drizzling in the oil completely. Cook the couscous according to the package directions. Cut the roasted tomato halves into quarters, and combine with the steamed couscous. Add the basil and adjust the seasoning. Drizzle with vinaigrette. And toss to combine.

ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER
Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

Steps:
- Preheat the over to 200 degrees. .
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Preheat 2 tablespoons olive oil to smoking over medium high heat in a nonstick 12 inch skillet.
- Place the fillets in the skillet (flesh side down if skin is on) for five minutes. Don't move them around. Wait to form a nice caramelized crust.
- Place seared fillets (flesh side "up" if skin is on) in a baking dish and put on the middle rack of your 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes. This will be long enough for the salmon to cook all the way through.
- Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels and put back on medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
- Add the couscous to the skillet and stir over the heat until the grains are toasted and light brown. (This is a little tricky. This can go from "raw" to "burnt" in about 2 minutes once the first grains turn tan).
- When the grains are toasted, add the shallots, lemon zest and minced garlic; stir and cook until fragrant ( 30 secs to 90 secs).
- Add the water to the skillet (slowly to avoid splattering) and let the mixture come to a boil. Cover the skillet and let cook for about 12 minutes (long enough for the couscous to absorb all the liquid).
- Once the salmon is in the oven and the skillet full of cous cous is simmering, make a lemon scented chive flavor "drizzling oil" by whisking together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice and the minced chives. (This sauce makes the dish.).
- When salmon is cooked through and couscous has absorbed all the liquid, add the frozen peas to the cous cous and remove from heat. The peas will defrost in a couple of minutes (golden raisins work well, too).
- Serve the salmon fillets on beds of couscous and pour a bit of the drizzling lemon-oil over each serving. Salt and pepper to taste.

HOISIN-LIME SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS COUSCOUS
Steps:
- cook!
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and seafood.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking salmon, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the asparagus is tender: Asparagus should be tender, but still have a slight crunch to it. Cook the asparagus until it is bright green and tender, but not mushy.
- Use a light hand with the hoisin sauce: Hoisin sauce is a strong flavor, so it's important to use it sparingly. A little bit of hoisin sauce goes a long way.
Conclusion:
This hoisin lime salmon with asparagus and couscous is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the couscous is light and fluffy. The hoisin lime sauce adds a delicious and tangy flavor to the dish.
