This is a really quick and easy recipe, and the results are delicious. I’m always looking for something different to cook for the family but doesn’t take endless hours in the kitchen to prepare. My children really enjoyed the salmon and apart for serving up my sons couscous before adding the tomatoes (he doesn’t like tomatoes, unless they come in a sauce :)) we all ate the same meal and enjoyed it. It’s a good recipe for all the family and avoids the need to make different meals to suit everyone. I’ll definitely be making this again.
Just made this for myself and my husband and this is a very tasty mid week meal. I’m not sure if my kids would like the cous cous but I would definitely try it out with them. Definitely a meal that I would make again.
