Moroccan-Spiced Salmon Skewers with Lemon Couscous

Tender salmon cubes are marinated in a vibrant Moroccan-inspired spice blend, then grilled to perfection. Served over a bed of fluffy lemon-herb couscous for a well-balanced, family-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to coat the salmon evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  2. 2

    While the salmon is marinating, prepare the couscous. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 5-7 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in the lemon zest and fresh parsley.
