Slow-Roasted Salmon With Cherry Tomatoes And Couscous
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- Kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 bunch dill fronds
- 1/2 bunch thyme sprigs
- 1 3-pound piece center-cut skin-on salmon fillet, preferably wild king, pin bones removed
- Kosher salt
- 8 ounces small cherry tomatoes on the vine (optional)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons za'atar (optional)
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups Israeli couscous
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt. DO AHEAD:
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0F. Pour 4 tablespoons oil in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon. Make a bed of herbs in bottom of pan; top with salmon, skin side down. Drizzle salmon with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Top with tomatoes, if using. Bake until salmon is just cooked through in the center (a small knife will slide easily through flesh), 25-30 minutes.
- Toss tomatoes with 3 tablespoons oil, parsley, and za'atar, if using, in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Set aside.
- Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain couscous; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt. Gently fold tomatoes into couscous.
- Use a large spoon or fork to serve salmon, leaving skin in pan. Serve with yogurt sauce and couscous.
