Cilantro (which also goes by the secret name "coriander") is center stage in this meal. These leaves and stems, rich in flavor, combine with tangy Greek yogurt and a hint of lime for a sauce that adds a bit of cool umph to flaky, light salmon. It also can be used on the fresh snap peas (secret name is just adding "sugar" in front of "snap"… how unimaginative!) and couscous side. The secret name for this entire dish? Absolutely delicious. Also known as, your favorite weeknight meal.
Tip: Strings in the snap peas make them less than ideal for chewing. Best way to remove them? Pinch the curly end of the pod, and grab the small curl at the bottom, pinching until its completely removed. Then pull downward to remove the "string." (You can use a knife to help you, just be careful!)
