Sheet-Pan Harissa Salmon With Potatoes and Citrus
Time 30 minutes

Serving 4

Ingredients
  • 4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, about 1- to 1½-inches thick
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons mild or spicy harissa paste, depending on your preference
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • ¼ cup orange juice (from about ½ orange)
  • 1 pound small potatoes, such as baby red or fingerlings, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into ½-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup cilantro, roughly chopped, both leaves and tender stems
  • 3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced on an angle, both white and green parts
  • Flaky salt, for serving

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.
