  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  5. Add the red wine vinegar, honey, and crushed garlic in a bowl. Stir using a whisk.
    Add the salmon pieces (you should have 2 or 4 pieces, for 2 servings) and coat them with this marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the salmon for the next 30 minutes.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the salmon and cook it for 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Serve the fried salmon with the lentil couscous! If you want, garnish with fresh parsley.
