I tried this on a recent trip. The only sub I made was buying salmon in a pouch instead of the salmon jerky (couldn't find any). The flavors were good except the salmon was really gross. It had an almost-tuna taste. If I find salmon jerky I will try this again.

It's a good costal dish, I know a few people that make salmon jerky out of any fish they catch. If you've got that hook-up it cuts the food cost by alot

It didn't cost me that much; I used a package of salmon rather than the salmon jerky and also found it would feed three at most. Package of salmon $3; the couscous about $1; same for the sun dried tomatoes. I get it at $6 total.

6 bucks a serving is a lot. Salmon is expensive. But tasty! Good dish friends.
