Food You Can Eat: Rose Harissa Salmon Wraps

The tomato I didn't have would have made for a prettier photo. Sigh.

This recipe from Epicurious was incredibly tasty, not bad on fat and carbs, and introduced me to a new favorite spice, rose harissa.

Ingredients

  • 500g skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4cm cubes
  • For the marinade
  • 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic granules
  • 1 heaped tablespoon rose harissa
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed lime and a good squeeze of juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Generous amount of Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

To Serve

  • Tortilla wraps
  • Sliced tomatoes (sadly, I had no tomatoes, so did without)
  • Finely sliced onion
  • Coriander leaves
  • Greek yogurt

Directions

Preheat your oven to its highest setting (with fan if it has one). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add the salmon and turn until well coated in the marinade. (I let it absorb for a few hours.)

Spread the salmon out on the prepared baking tray and roast for 10 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with tortilla wraps, tomatoes, finely sliced onion, coriander leaves and Greek yogurt. (I added some lime zest and rose harissa to the yogurt for serving.)

  1. I don’t know who Rose Harissa is, but I would eat her salmon wraps.

    • She was the slightly dim one from St. Olaf on “The Golden Girls.”

  2. I’ve heard of rose harissa but not sure I’ve ever had it. But you had me a salmon wrap, so I’ll find it or figure out a proper substitute.

  3. Ohh I love harissa! I also love the ajika seasoning from Trader Joe’s.

  4. Yummy and seems easy to make! Adding it to my list for when my appliance installers decide to stop holding my kitchen hostage. 😢 They won’t even return my calls or emails to schedule an installation date. I would have my contractor do it if that didn’t void the warranties.

    • I just spent a not-very-profitable 45 minutes on the phone (actually connected to a live customer service rep, no less) with my insurance carrier. They sent me a very vague letter about a claim for something that happened in December. I’ve been in and out of so many medical tests and procedures I have no idea what this is referring to, and even if I did every visit seems to generate multiple bills from various parts of the medical-industrial complex. The outcome of this call? The customer service rep is almost sure that they actually have the paperwork/authorization they need to process this claim but she needs a second opinion, and none was forthcoming, so she will have to call me back.

        • At least Better Half’s company didn’t do the old switcheroo at the first of the year and move him (and me) over to a new carrier. That’s always fun. You get something done in the latter portion of a year, come January 1 you get transferred over to a new plan, the medical-industrial complex decides to get off their butt and bill you in the new year, and then you have to time travel. The previous insurer will deny the claim because you are no longer a customer, and the current plan will deny the claim because it didn’t happen under their watch. Then, if you know what generated this bill, you call the medical-industrial complex and say, “This never happened according to my insurance company…” and send them on a wild goose chase.
