Za’atar-Fried Salmon
over Tahini Caesar-Dressed Couscous Salad
Middle Eastern yum. Sprinkles of za’atar lend salmon fillets a distinctively sesame-herby-lemony taste profile. Tahini and honey whisked into a classic Caesar dressing unlock extra levels of creaminess. Tender fish floats over a salad of air-fried radishes and fine-grained couscous.
