Israeli Couscous with Harissa-Spiced Salmon
This is a delicious, easy and healthy meal to throw together in under 45 minutes!
TIP:Using a big filet of salmon with the skin on will help keep the fish tender and moist. If you prefer a different kind of fish, choose one that is mild, meaty, and forgiving, like cod, halibut, or haddock.
