Salmon with harissa and tomato salad
This is a very very good 10 minute dinner. Salmon, with harissa, and lots of veg. Screams summer to me.
Whenever I have salmon, I either want something super salty over it, or something with harissa. You just can’t go wrong.
You can serve this with any veg you want, but I’ve given you an easy salad recipe, assuming that you have no veg prepped.
Recipe
THE SALMON
1 salmon fillet
1 tbsp apricot or rose harissa
1 tssp muscovado sugar, or any other brown sugar
1 tbsp balsamic
Salt and pepper
Sprinkle of each: ground cumin & ground coriander
THE SALAD
10 cherry tomatoes
7-8 kalamata olives
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Mix your salmon marinade in a bowl, then add your salmon, skin on or off, and set aside whilst you chop your salad.
Slice your tomatoes in half, add to a bowl, then remove the pips from your olives, slice in half & add to the tomatoes.
Add your capers & dress with balsamic and olive oil, then crack in some black pepper & salt.
When you’re ready, fry your salmon on either side until its cooked to your liking, pouring over any remaining sauce, allowing it to caramelise in the pan.
Serve your salmon with the salad, and any fresh herbs you like. You could also add some potatoes or beans to make this a fuller meal.
Notes + Variations:
You could sub out the salmon for any fish, meat, or vegan alternative you fancy, and use any veg you have in.
