Pour the diluted fish broth over the couscous in a bowl and leave for 3 to 4 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir in the chopped tomatoes, scallions, and watercress. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over it, and stir to blend everything together. Season slightly with salt and pepper. 5. Serve the warm salmon with the couscous salad and the tarragon mayonnaise. Ingredients: (Serves 4) Salmon 4 (4 ounce) salmon steaks or fillets 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 to 2 bay leaves Strip of pared lemon zest Mayonnaise 4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh tarragon Couscous 1 cup couscous 4 tomatoes, roughly chopped 3 scallions, chopped 2 cups watercress, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper 1. Place the salmon in a deep-sided, nonstick skillet. Pour the wine over it and add the bay leaves, lemon zest, and seasoning to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and poach the salmon until just cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes. It should still be very slightly translucent in the center. 2. Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, yogurt, grated lemon zest, and tarragon. Season lightly with salt and pepper and spoon the mixture into a serving bowl. (Low-fat sour cream can be used for making the sauce in place of the yogurt and mayonnaise) 3. When the fish is cooked, drain off most of the cooking liquid into a measuring cup, and add enough boiling water to make 1 1/2 cups. Cover the pan with a lid to keep the salmon warm, off the heat.
