Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high or position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler.
Combine yogurt, scallion greens, lemon juice, cilantro, cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add apricots, ginger, scallion whites and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Stir in couscous.
Remove from heat, cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, rub salmon with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
If broiling, coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
If grilling, oil the grill rack (see Tip).
Grill or broil the salmon until browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve with the couscous, topped with the yogurt sauce and cashews.
