Cashew Salmon with Apricot Couscous | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
List of Ingredients1/2 cup Yogurt, plain, skim milk 3 Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw 2 tbs Lemon juice, canned or bottled 2 tbs Cilantro, raw 1/2 tsp ground cumin 3/4 tsp Salt, table (divided) 1/2 tsp pepper, black (divided) 1 tbs Oil, olive, extra-virgin 1/2 cup Apricots, dried 1 tbs ginger, ground 1 1/2 cup Water 1 cup Couscous, dry whole wheat 1 lb Finfish, salmon, coho, wild, cooked, moist heat 1/4 cup Nuts, cashew nuts, dry roasted, without salt added Instructions for Preparation 1. Preheat grill to medium-high or position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler. 2. Combine yogurt, scallion greens, lemon juice, cilantro, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. 3. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add apricots, ginger, scallion whites and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. 4. Meanwhile, rub salmon with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. If broiling, coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. If grilling, oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill or broil the salmon until browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with the couscous, topped with the yogurt sauce and cashews. Tips: To toast chopped cashews, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) |

I TRIED THIS NEW RECIPE CALCULATOR which you can download for a free trial also to convert your own recipes! I’m not too happy with how the nutrition facts label shows up on my blog but maybe I can do some more testing and tweaking. Also some of the ingredients don’t show up exactly as you’d like and, while I can change it on my website, I’m afraid the nutritional analysis is then not as accurate as I’d like.
