Harissa-Lime Salmon

• servings: 2
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. mild harissa sauce*

Tbsp. honey

tsp. ground coriander

6-oz. skinless salmon fillets oz. asparagus spears, about ½-inch diameter, trimmed to fit air fryer (about 16 spears)

1 recipe Harissa-Lime Sauce

Lime wedges

Asparagus to pair

Harissa-Lime Sauce

2 Tbsp plain low-fat Greek yogurt

2 Tbsp mayo

1 Tbsp mild harissa sauce

1 garlic clove, minced

1 small lime (1 tsp zest and 1 1/2 Tbsp juice)

Pinch of salt

Pinch ground pepper

Directions

This two-serving recipe fits conveniently into a basket-style air fryer. To make four servings, double the recipe and air-fry in two batches. If you have a larger, toaster oven-style air fryer, double the recipe and cook in one batch.

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. In a small bowl whisk together harissa sauce, honey, coriander, ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and ⅛ tsp. salt.

2. Pat salmon dry. Generously coat salmon with harissa mixture.

3. Line a 6-qt. air-fryer basket with perforated parchment. Working in batches if needed, arrange salmon and asparagusin prepared basket. Drizzle asparagus with 1 tsp. olive oil and sprinkle with pinch each salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Cook until salmon flakes easily, 5 minutes. Serve salmon and asparagus with Harissa-Lime Sauce and lime wedges.

HARISSA-LIME SAUCE In a small bowl whisk together 2 Tbsp. plain low-fat Greek yogurt; 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise; 1 Tbsp. mild harissa sauce; 1 garlic clove, minced; the zest and juice of one small lime (1 tsp. zest and 1½ Tbsp. juice); and a pinch each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk in water if needed to reach desired consistency.

*TIP Harissa sauce and harissa paste are similar products but not quite the same. The paste is a thick and fairly spicy mixture, and the sauce is usually thinner and more mild. If you can't find the sauce, thin the paste with water to reach sauce consistency.

Gochujang and bottled hot sauce can be used as substitutes.

Notes

July 2024 - so good!!

Such an interesting flavor on salmon! I really enjoyed this with and without the extra sauce (which was also very good). I put this with leftover veggies I already had, but asparagus would have been great with it.

I used a wild caught (?) sockeye filet from Publix

Cooked it in the oven instead of air fryer
