Harissa Roasted Salmon With Potatoes Recipes

HARISSA ROASTED SALMON WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180°C/350°. Put 2 tbsp olive oil in a baking tray and place in the oven to get hot. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Par boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until you can put a knife in quite easily.
• Whisk 4 tbsp olive oil, harissa, lemon juice and garlic together and spread half on the bottom of a baking dish. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides then put in the baking dish skin side up (if it has skin).
• Pour over the remaining sauce and spread then top with the lemon slices and put in the oven. Drain the potatoes, get the tray of oil out the oven and spread the potatoes on it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and put in the oven.
• After 15 minutes take the salmon out of the oven and cover with foil. Turn the heat up to 225°C/440°F and cook the potatoes for another 15 minutes. Serve the salmon with the potatoes.

SHEET-PAN HARISSA SALMON WITH POTATOES AND CITRUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Lay salmon on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, whisk together harissa, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice. Spoon the mixture over the flesh and sides of the fish, and let marinate at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or use a nonstick sheet pan). In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes and onion with the olive oil, and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the sheet pan in 1 layer, leaving 4 spaces for the salmon fillets to be added later. Roast until the potatoes are beginning to brown and are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Add the salmon to the sheet pan skin-side down, and roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through and the potatoes are crisp, about 8 minutes more. Scatter cilantro and scallions over everything, and season with flaky salt.

BROWN-BUTTER SALMON WITH LEMON AND HARISSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place salmon in a large baking dish skin-side-down and season with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, use a rimmed baking sheet.)
• Heat butter in a small pot or skillet over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until butter foams and browns, about 5 minutes. (The whisking will help release the brown butter bits from the bottom of the pot, and those are the bits you want.)
• Add garlic slices, letting them sizzle and brown in the butter for 30 seconds or so, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pot and whisk in harissa. Give it a minute or two to sizzle and toast a bit in the butter mixture. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water to the pot, whisking to incorporate.
• Season the brown butter-harissa sauce with salt and pepper and pour over salmon.
• Place in oven and roast until the salmon is just cooked through, but still nicely pink and medium-rare in the center, 12 to 15 minutes for a whole fillet, or 8 to 10 minutes for individual fillets. (If you prefer your fish well done, cook the whole fillet for 15 to 18 minutes, or individual fillets for 12 to 15 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, toss shallot with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce and dill and toss to coat; drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Once salmon is just cooked through, remove from oven. Use a large serving spoon to scoop large chunks of salmon onto a serving platter or individual plates, leaving the skin behind in the baking dish. (No need to worry if you get smaller chunks too, but try to get the largest pieces you can.) Spoon any remaining brown-butter sauce from the pan over the fish and squeeze lemon over the top. Sprinkle with a bit more dill, if you have it. Serve with dilly lettuce alongside, and, if you like, potatoes or toast and aioli.
