Baked Salmon & Couscous

Salmon is by far my favorite type of fish. It's inexpensive, versatile, and cooks pretty quickly. I marinated this beautiful filet in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, and various spices/herbs. I probably would have let it sit longer than I did, but I was quite hungry and didn't feel like waiting. It still turned out to be very delicious. Couscous is definitely a quick and easy food to make, and can be spiced according to your liking. I used Mediterranean/Italian seasoning to go with the flavors of the salmon. The best way to get everything out on time and together is to get the couscous going about half way through the baking of the salmon. This particular cut took about 12 minutes to bake, and the couscous only takes 5 minutes to fluff. I think I ended up eating this faster than it took to cook.
