I substituted about 1/4 to 1/3 cup sun-dried tomato pesto for the golden raisins/green olives/pine nuts, and used the smaller amount of couscous & stock mentioned (I used fish stock, though chicken would work equally well. Really delicious dish - and so easy to prepare AND clean up! Works equally well for busy workdays and lazy weekends!

Not bad...a bit too much couscous though so next time I will reduce that. I also didn't use the green olives because i don't like them, wonder if next time I should since the dish was lacking in bold flavor. Would also use 2 lemons next time. Super easy to put together though and is pretty impressive! My husband who doesn't even like couscous ate it.

As long as you can find good pitted olives (or don't mind pitting good olives, this recipe isn't difficult to prepare at all - and well worth the effort.
The only changes I make is that I rinse the brine off the capers.
I also add chopped Peppadews - awesome - it added nice red color too.
This is my new favorite salmon recipe - and we always have leftover couscous.
I use 1 cup of couscous and 1 and 1/3 cups water (per the recipe note, as it's perfect for 2 people.

I have made this several times and each time have altered it a bit to my taste. I think that there is a little too much couscous so i reduced to about 3/4 c with 1 cup of water. I leave all of the other ingredient amounts the same--the flavors are great--except that i have a love for capers so I generally double the capers. Also, don't forget to put the olive oil on top before baking. I forgot once and it definitely makes a difference. Also, don't be shy with the salt and pepper--the couscous absorbs a lot. This is a really easy and tasty meal. I certainly recommend it!!

I had a lot of prep work but it was all worth it. My family is not big on fish but even they ate it all.

I covered it when I put it in the oven by mistake, but it turned out wonderfully anyway. It wasn't crusty on the top, but that didn't distract from the delicious flavors. I going to put this one on my list of favorites for when guests come over, or for special occasions. (Although, really, it is easy enough to make for every day dinners, too.

I love this recipe: I've made it several times and it has so much flavor and is really easy. It's one of those great recipes that tastes much harder than it is. I usually use the smaller amount of couscous, perfect for a 2 quart square baking dish, and the only modification I make is that I don't bother drizzling extra olive oil over the the top -- it has plenty of flavor without that added fat! Highly recommended!
