Salmon & Couscous Salad

Couscous (\koos-koos) is a good healthy alternative of rice, and convenient too because it is instant to cook – I follow the Couscous package instruction: just pour hot boiling water (1:1) to couscous, covered with aluminium foil for 10 mins. Use a fork to fluff (搅绊松) it (optional to add butter or olive oil). Cover again till serving.

500 F = 260 C (Oven)

You can replace Salmon by Tuna, Sausage, Chicken breast, etc.
