1 pound carrots (about 6 medium), quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/8 inch thick diagonally
1 cup uncooked couscous
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 skinless salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
