Ingredients

1 cup couscous

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups water

1/2 pound salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

Directions

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a 12-inch stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon, skin-side down, and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure contact, until the skin is rendered and crisp, about 6 minutes. If skin shows resistance when attempting to lift with a spatula, allow it to continue to cook until it lifts easily.
