Grilled Salmon with Brown Butter Couscous

I am trying to cook more with salmon since I am constantly reading how great it is for you. I ripped this out of our recent cooking light magazine to make this week. Luckily I had everything we needed in the house except the salmon. In addition to eating healthy you can't forget the gym, and in order for me to enjoy that I have been taking different classes with friends. Not only do we get to catch up but it forces me to go and not back out. I was one lucky lady, I came home a bit late because as I said, too busy catching up with a friend, and Jason had found the recipe and measured everything out and prepped the recipe! What a great husband to know what I had in my mind for dinner and get it all ready for us to cook! Of course, it doesn't hurt that he enjoys salmon and anything with lemon flavoring like the couscous.
