Lemon-Pepper Salmon

Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪 American High-Protein 💪Pescatarian 🐟

Lemon-Pepper Salmon pairs flaky, pan-cooked fish with bright citrusy spice, garlic, and juicy tomatoes for a lively, pepper-forward bite. Butter and olive oil create a rich pan sauce that soaks into tender couscous, while fresh cilantro lifts the finish. Ideal for a weeknight dinner when you want something vibrant and satisfying without fuss.
