Cashew Salmon with Apricot Couscous Recipe

The first time I made this, four pairs of eyebrows went up, four pairs of eyes got big, and when we finished chewing the first bite, all four of us cried out at once, "Oh my gosh, this is fantastic!" We've made it several more times and always had the same ecstatic reaction. My son, 9, and daughter, 11, love it as much as my husband and I do. I've made it with regular couscous, no scallions, and powdered ginger and it is still a WINNER. One tip: the sauce runs out before our enjoyment does, so we make a little extra.

This was absolutely wonderful for Mother's Day brunch. I poached the salmon fillets using one of the other recipes at Eatingwell.com since I didn't have thick steaks. As recommended by another reader, I used brown rice instead of couscous and just threw in the apricots etc. after the rice had come to a boil and was simmering. The sauce was outstanding! ...I'm thinking I could make extra sauce and freeze it as I have extra fresh ingredients on hand now. Jan, Toronto, ON	8 weeks 4 days ago

I made this exactly as the recipe stated, except used brown rice instead of couscous as I couldn't find the whole wheat variety in my store. It came out absolutely delicious, very simple and I'll definitely make again. Delicious!, San Diego, CA	8 weeks 4 days ago
This was really great--entertainment worthy! And I actually omitted the cilantro and cut back on ginger. Still delicious, simple, and elegant. Kristen, Washington,, DC	8 weeks 4 days ago

I made this last night and it was fantastic. I halved the recipe as it was just me and my husband and I used boneless/skinless chicken instead of fish. I recommend it over and over and next time I will make it with salmon. I was amazed at the tangy flavor of the yogurt/cumin sauce. Amanda, Franklin, NC	8 weeks 4 days ago
