Honey Broiled Salmon over Avocado Remoulade

I love seafood. Anyone who knows me, knows this. I love sushi (and yes...the raw stuff), fish, shrimp, lobster, mussels, clams, scallops. My parents introduced me to the love of seafood and I try to make it a part of our diet at least once a week.

Tonight we had salmon. Usually when I prepare salmon I squeeze half a lemon over each fillet, cover it with minced garlic and drizzle it with olive oil or melted butter. I wanted something a little different and had 2 avocados in the fridge that were calling my name. This dish was yummy, but I admit I piped a little too much remoulade on the plate. I will go easier with it next time. The sweet of the honey and the salty of the avocado mixture complimented each other quite well and the easy nutty flavor of the cous cous was a nice balance. Derrick and I sat in silence, watching 60 minutes as we devoured our meal. We will definitely have this again.
