Turkish-Spiced Salmon

with Blood Orange and Couscous Pilaf

Blood orange season comes late in winter and provides good reason to celebrate: the citrus fruit’s cheery, raspberry-like flavor is a bright spot after months of hibernation fare. The oranges are best worked into a salad, where their raw acidity can really shine. Here, we’re complementing them with salmon, couscous, and Turkish spices, which add an earthy, floral note.
