Steps:
- This is one of those recipes that is easier to follow than to write: that's to say, there are many bowls involved, which might make this look troublesome and fiddly, but the actual process involved is almost insultingly simple.
- Now, I know that it is not strictly right to indicate that you cook couscous by pouring boiling water over it. In an ideal world, I accept, one should soak the grains in cold water before steaming them over hot, but I take the shortcut, and repeatedly and I apologize to those whom I thereby offend.
- Put the couscous into a heatproof bowl, with 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt), 1/4 teaspoon of the paprika, and all the grated ginger. Give everything a bit of a mix before adding the hot boiled water. Cover the bowl, either with plastic wrap or a plate, and set aside.
- Into another bowl, put the finely chopped onion.
- In a wide, shallow dish, big enough to take the salmon fillets later, zest the lemon into the dish.
- Squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl with the onions.
- Add the remaining salt and the paprika to the bowl with the lemon zest and stir in 1 tablespoon garlic flavored oil.
- Halve the cherry or grape tomatoes and put them into yet another bowl. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of garlic flavored oil and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan for the salmon fillets. While the pan is getting hot, add the fillets to the dish with the lemon zest and coat both sides with the mixture.
- Put the fillets in the hot pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. The fillets should be juicy and have a vivid coral color in the middle, so do check as you cook.
- Meanwhile, uncover and fluff the couscous, which should have absorbed all the water. Add the tomatoes with lemony onion mixture and stir with a fork.
- Add nearly all of the cilantro to the couscous, and stir it through, then taste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
- Spoon some couscous onto each plate and arrange a salmon fillet alongside. Sprinkle with a little more cilantro as you hand out each plate.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, and cook briefly while stirring. Add the wine, capers, rosemary, oregano, pepper flakes, tomatoes, salt, pepper and olives. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil in a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Arrange the fish skin-side down, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the tomato sauce around the fish fillets, brush the top of the fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the cheese.
- Bake for 5 minutes and sprinkle with Ricard. Switch to the broiler and broil for 5 minutes. Do not overcook the fish. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately

Steps:

- Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
- For salmon:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Pour 4 tablespoons oil in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon. Make a bed of herbs in bottom of pan; top with salmon, skin side down. Drizzle salmon with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Top with tomatoes, if using. Bake until salmon is just cooked through in the center (a small knife will slide easily through flesh), 25-30 minutes.
- For tomatoes and couscous:
- Toss tomatoes with 3 tablespoons oil, parsley, and za'atar, if using, in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Set aside.
- Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain couscous; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt. Gently fold tomatoes into couscous.
- Use a large spoon or fork to serve salmon, leaving skin in pan. Serve with yogurt sauce and couscous.
MARINATED GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATO, BASIL, AND GOAT CHEESE
The is a recipe I've developed over the years. I use it on other fish than just Salmon, because not everyone in my family likes Salmon. Any fish will work, just make sure you have a nice sized steak. It is very flavorful and a little different than just another fish on the grill. It is definitely a MUST-TRY! Enjoy.

Steps:
- Mix first 10 ingredients in bowl.
- Pour marinade into large freezer bag.
- Marinate fish at least 20 minutes with bag sealed at room temperature.
- Thinly slice the tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place fish on hot grill. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Fresh ground is preferred).
- As the fish cooks (3-5 minutes per side), use a brush and mop the marinade onto fish.
- Turn salmon a quarter (90 degrees) after a quarter of the way through cooking. (This will give it nice grill cross hatch marks).
- Flip fish half way though cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste to this side as well.
- Continue to baste the fish with marinade. (Try to use all if possible).
- Turn fish another 90 degrees after 3/4 done cooking.
- Before fish is completely cooked, top it with thinly sliced tomato. Top tomato with fresh basil. Top basil with crumbled goat cheese. Shut the grill for a minute or two before taking fish off. Let rest a few minutes and enjoy!
- Feel free to make the marinade to taste. It should be sweet, and salty, and sour. I did not measure anything out when making this dish. I simply tasted it a few times until it was balanced the way I liked it.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, and sauté 7 minutes or until browned.
- Combine couscous and garlic power, pepper and salt in a medium bowl; top with onions and cheese. Place broth in a microwave-safe measuring cup; microwave at high 2 1/2 minutes or until hot. Slowly pour over couscous mixture. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, tossing until well combined.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in nutrients and may contain contaminants.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be done by baking, grilling, or pan-searing the fish.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and creamy goat cheese.
- Don't overcook the couscous. Couscous only takes a few minutes to cook. Overcooking it will make it mushy and unpleasant.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
This salmon with tomato, goat cheese, and couscous recipe is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the tomatoes and goat cheese add a creamy and tangy flavor, and the couscous is a light and fluffy side dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
