Lemon Pepper Salmon


2 T. butter
2 T. olive oil
4 (4 oz.) Salmon steaks
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 T. lemon pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes or 1 can diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups boiling water
1 cup uncooked couscous

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place salmon in the skillet, and season with garlic, lemon pepper and salt. Pour 1/4 cup water around salmon. Place tomatoes and cilantro in the skillet. Cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
2. Bring 2 cups water to boil in a pot. Remove form heat, and mix in couscous. Cover, and let sit 5 minutes. Serve the cooked salmon over couscous, and drizzle with sauce from skillet.

I didn't have Salmon so I made this with Chicken. It was really yummy. I just didn't add the 1/4 C. Water. It was delicious.
