• STEP 1

  In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, add couscous, and stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes; fluff with a fork.

  • 8 fl oz (1 cup) chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup whole wheat couscous

• STEP 2

  Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

  While the skillet heats up, pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place, skin-side down, on a plate. Season with spices on the top-side.

  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp coriander, ground
  • ¼ tsp cumin, ground
  • 1 pinch cinnamon, ground

• STEP 4

  Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add salmon, skin-side down, and cook until skin is crispy and flesh is opaque, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.

  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  While the salmon is cooking, wash and dry the fresh produce.

  • ½ lemon

  Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

  Halve plums lengthwise (around the pit); twist halves to separate, then remove and discard pits. Cut each half into ¼-inch thick slices. Add to the bowl.

  Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise, then cut crosswise into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.

• STEP 10

  Roughly chop apricots. Add to the bowl and set aside.
