Note
Tips: For best results, verify salmon fillets are similar in thickness for even cooking. If using frozen salmon, thoroughly defrost and pat dry before cooking.
The couscous should absorb most of the liquid, but if it seems too wet, let it stand for an additional 2-3 minutes after cooking. For extra Mediterranean flavour, consider adding crumbled feta cheese when serving.
