I made this dinner tonight, and it was so uniquely delicious. This is not the type of recipe I would have thought up on my own without the creativity and genius of Colu Henry. She put these flavours together to turn salmon into something extraordinary!
I made only a few minor changes to her original recipe:
1) I halved the recipe, as I thought my son would find it too spicy. In the end, Andrew found it a little too spicy too. I used 5 tsp (almost 2 tbsp) of harissa. Next time, I will make it with 1 tbsp.
2) I swapped out the red onion for a Vidalia onion. I love Vidalia onions, and that is what I had at home!
3) I doubled (from 2 to 4 tbsps) the amount of olive oil that Colu Henry called to toss the potatoes in. I think roasted fingerling potatoes are amazing in plenty delicious olive oil! And, no, I did not swap the olive oil out for avocado or grapeseed oil this time, even though I baked at 450°F. These potatoes taste too good in a great olive oil!! I also did not peel the potatoes. They were organic and so much good-for-you fibre and nutrition lives in the skin!
4) I skipped adding raw green onions at the end, because I didn't want that raw onion taste.
5) I baked my salmon for 12 minutes, not 8. It was really undercooked to my tasted after 8 minutes. Of course, this will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
Otherwise, I followed Colu's directions to a tee. This is definitely a quick, easy, delicious, and spunky way to serve up salmon at home!
It, quite literally, spices things up!

You could swap out the fingerling potatoes for any small potatoes, like small red potatoes would be delicious!
