This is a wonderful and spicy way to prepare Salmon with a North African inspired sauce.
Harissa (my version)
Ingredients:
- 2 red dried chili’s
- 1/4 of a green pepper
- salt to taste
- one tablespoon cumin seeds (the recipes called for caraway I didn’t have any so used cumin)
- one tablespoon coriander seeds
- olive oil
- 1/2 chopped tomato
- 2 wild Alaskan Salmon steaks
- 4 cloves of garlic
- little lemon juice
- tablespoon tomato puree
Method:
- toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a pan, then add the green pepper
- add the garlic and red chili’s
- grind with tomato, olive oil, a little tomato puree and lemon juice to make a paste
- cover salmon with marinate and let it sit for 2 hours
- then bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes
