Cooking Steps

Cook couscous
1
  • Before starting, lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium (approx. 400°F). Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add broth concentrate, half the Zesty Garlic Blend and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in couscous.
  • Remove the pot from heat, stir in half the pesto and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cover and set aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices lengthwise. Arrange on a plate, then drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Flip to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. 
  • Roughly chop parsley. 
  • To a small bowl, add remaining pesto.
Grill salmon
3
  • On a plate, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Flip to coat.
  • On a platter, gather plate with salmon, zucchini, bowl with pesto, silicone brush, any grilling tools and a clean plate. Head out to grill!
  • On one side of the grill, arrange salmon, skin-side down. Close lid and grill for 6-7 min, until salmon is cooked through.** 
  • When salmon is almost done, brush remaining pesto over top.
Grill zucchini
4
  • Meanwhile, to the other side of the grill, add zucchini. Close lid and grill for 4-5 min, flipping once, until tender. 
Finish and serve
5
  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Remove and discard salmon skin, if you like.
  • To the pot with couscous, add zucchini, tomatoes and half the parsley.
  • Divide couscous between bowls. Top with salmon.
  • Sprinkle feta and remaining parsley over top.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The sun-dried tomato pesto pairs beautifully with the salmon, and the feta adds a lovely finishing touch. Some reviewers found the overall flavour a little mild and suggest adding more pesto or a squeeze of lemon to brighten the dish.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this recipe quick and straightforward to pull together. One reviewer noted that a broiler or air fryer works well as an alternative to the grill.
  • Suggestions: Grill salmon for closer to 15–16 minutes at 400°F if pieces are thick, as some found the suggested time too short. Warm the pesto before adding it to the couscous to keep the dish from cooling down too quickly.
  • Portions: Some reviewers felt the salmon portions were on the smaller side relative to the amount of couscous, so consider adjusting serving ratios to suit your appetite.
