Steps

Heat a grill to medium-high, about 400 F, and coat the grates with cooking spray.
Mix the salt, black pepper, white pepper, fennel, coriander, and sugar, then season the salmon.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the pine nuts, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.
Add the broth and wine, bring the mixture to a simmer, stir in the couscous and lemon rind, cover, and remove from the heat for 5 minutes.
Fluff the couscous with the lemon juice and browned butter, then grill the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches 145 F and flakes easily.
