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

  • For extra crunch, add some toasted seeds or nuts to the slaw.

 

  • You can also swap quinoa for another grain like brown rice or couscous.
