Spice-Crusted Salmon With Couscous Salmon image

I love salmon and couscous and this recipe from Australian BH&G Diabetic Living looks like a corker. UPDATE 24th February 2012 - made this recipe for the DM and myself but did use basil instead of corainder as we really don't care for it but the basil was a good match with the tomatoe and cucumber, unfortunately no radishes so gave a good grind of fresh black pepper (helped a little). My fillets were just under 200 grams each so allowed an extgra minute, though only 30 seconds would have been perfect still had that pink and was not dry. For the rub mix oh the flavour was sublime but only used about half of it on our 2 fillets so if you are not planning on using the rub mix again would halve for one of use (but could depend on how much mix you like to rub in).

I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it! He said it was the best salmon he's ever had. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to cook salmon. The spice crust adds a lot of flavor to the fish, and the couscous is a light and fluffy side dish. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm not a fan of couscous, so I substituted rice. The salmon was delicious and the spice crust was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again, but with rice next time.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the spice crust was delicious. The couscous was also very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
