Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Slaw:

    • ½ small head green cabbage, shredded (or coleslaw mix)

    • 4 scallions, chopped

    • ½ cup mixed soft herbs (cilantro, dill, parsley, and/or basil)

    • Juice from 1 lemon

    • 1 tbsp olive oil

    • ¾ tsp kosher salt

    For the Salmon:

    • 2 (6 oz) salmon filets

    • Kosher salt, to taste

    • 1 tbsp honey

    • 2 tsp olive oil

    • 1 tsp harissa spice blend (not paste)

    • ½ tsp ground cumin

    For Serving:

    • 2 cups cooked quinoa

    • ½ cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  • Prepare the Slaw:

    • In a large bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, scallions, fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

    • Let sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the salmon.

  • Season the Salmon:

    • Pat the salmon filets dry and season generously with salt.

    • Drizzle with honey and olive oil, then sprinkle with harissa and cumin.

    • Use your fingers to rub the seasoning evenly over the salmon.

  • Broil the Salmon:

    • Line a baking sheet with foil and place the salmon on top.

    • Adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat to high broil.

    • Broil for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. (Thicker pieces may need more time—watch closely to prevent burning.)

 

  • Assemble & Serve:

    • Serve the harissa salmon over cooked quinoa, topped with fresh slaw and a dollop of yogurt.

    • Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • If you prefer a less spicy dish, you can reduce the amount of harissa used in the recipe.

  • The slaw can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

 

  • For a dairy-free option, you can substitute the yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
