Good for a Weeknight

I bought 12 ounces of salmon for 2 of us and had it skinned. I did not saute it first just put it in the oven and it came out great. We like our salmon less done. I made the full recipe of the yogurt mixture (I used sour cream) and a full recipe of the couscous which made a LOT!! All in all quite good for a weeknight but nothing too special but healthy!

The salmon was excellent but the couscous/carrot side was not a hit at my house.  If I make this again, I'll keep the salmon and probably just make up some Near East boxed roasted garlic couscous.

Best Salmon Ever!!!

I LOVE this salmon recipe, it was so delicious that Icouldn't stop eating it. The.couscous needs more of a acid to it though. I made it like the directions said to but I would have added more lemon juice next time.
