Mediterranean Citrus & Herb Salmon with Summer Squash Couscous
This dish is bright, fresh, and full of Mediterranean flavors. Salmon fillets are marinated in a citrus-herb blend that keeps them tender and flavorful. While they roast, a couscous side dish with sautéed summer squash, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta comes together quickly. The balance of savory, zesty, and slightly tangy makes this meal light yet satisfying

Notes
Marinade Boost: You can marinate the salmon up to 2 hours ahead for deeper flavor, but don’t go longer or the citrus may “cook” the fish.
Couscous Variations: Substitute quinoa or orzo if you don’t have couscous.
Vegetable Flexibility: Swap in bell peppers, spinach, or eggplant depending on what’s in season.
Meal Prep Tip: The couscous salad makes an excellent stand-alone lunch. Double the recipe, store it in airtight containers, and you’ll have fresh, nourishing lunches ready for the week.
