Salmon with swiss chard and couscous
One of my favorite restaurants in Asheville, North Carolina is Fig Bistro. It is an intimate French-inflected establishment with sage walls, a small bar area and a pleasant outdoor dining area. The small menu showcases seasonal ingredients and a few French classics. One of my favorite meals at Fig was this salmon with swiss chard and couscous. The salmon was cooked to perfection with a salted crust., The wilted red chard and couscous played well with it. It was all brought together in a bowl with a rich, lemony beurre blanc. I knew that I would have to try to duplicate it at home. After two tries, I have come close to the taste that I remember and love.
