In the motivated hypothesis that the scalar bosons of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) be the lightest new particles around, a possible strategy to search for signs of the extra CP-even states is outlined. It is shown how the measurements of the couplings of the 126 GeV Higgs boson constrain the region of the physical parameters in a generic NMSSM which minimises the fine-tuning of the electroweak scale. We also determine the cross section for the production of a heavier CP-even scalar, together with its most relevant branching ratios.
