Health and fertility benefits of Soy-Garlic Salmon with Couscous

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also one of the best sources of vitamin D. Keeping vitamin D levels up is important to women with PCOS.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp. grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. sugar
4 pieces wild salmon (about 2 lb.)
kosher salt
1 lb. snow peas, chopped
2 c. couscous
extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, chopped

Instructions

In a large Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, and salmon. Seal and gently shake until salmon is well coated. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Cook snow peas 5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cold water. Drain. Meanwhile, stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Add snow peas to pot to keep warm.
In a medium skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil. Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry with paper towel. Sear until golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes per side (watch carefully as sugar in marinade can burn). Lower heat if necessary.
Serve salmon on bed of couscous and snowpeas and garnish with scallions.
