Excited to say my second night of eating the leftovers tasted better the next day. So I can make this dish the night before if I wanted to and microwave portions at a time when you are ready to eat. This is definitely a very good recipe. Thank you for your post. I had eye on this recipe for some time before your posting.

I acutally made this dish for dinner tonight. I followed the original recipe with chicken broth instead of water. I used 6 salmon fillets instead of 2 and it worked out pretty good. I have leftover for another night’s dinner. I was nervous while the dish was baking because it didn’t look like the couscous was going to get cooked, but when I removed the baked dish from the oven, everything looked good, just like your photo. I’m not a fan of feta so I omit the feta. There was a bit of chewy crunchy bits on the top, so next time I’ll just loosely lay a foil on top. My son didn’t care for the crunchy bits. Also, I’m thinking of adding some chopped shallots or red onion to the couscous next time. But overall, this is very good.

I just made this and it was delicious! I added thinly sliced zucchini and cut asparagus to the couscous mixture (whole wheat from Trader Joes) and used dill instead of parsley. I also excluded the raisins and capers (because I didn’t have any) and used less veg broth. I know I made a lot of changes to your recipe but I feel like I still preserved the main idea and we all LOVED it!!!

We made this tonight. Despite some icky salmon filets (bad butcher), this was delicious! I look forward to making it again with GOOD salmon!
