To enjoy this meal, simply remove the outer packaging. The salmon and couscous are typically cooked and ready to be reheated. You can reheat the meal in a microwave according to package directions, or for a crispier salmon skin, you can transfer it to an oven-safe dish and heat in a preheated oven. Ensure the meal is heated thoroughly before serving.
