I prepared this recipe last night, and DH and I thought that it was really good! It was very quick and easy to put together. We are constantly looking for new ways to prepare our salmon. We always use farm raised salmon from Scotland, which is the very best farm raised salmon you can purchase (at least here, anyway). I toasted the almonds in the oven and nuked the sliced carrots in the microwave for about 2 minutes to make sure they were properly done. I also used low sodium chicken broth as suggested in another review and used Israeli Couscous, which we like more than the regular. To top it off, we sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on the salmon about 5 minutes before it was done. This recipe is on our list of favorites! It makes a nice presentation for guests, too. Thanks, Geema for posting!1Reply
