Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, lime juice, and one tablespoon of olive oil to create a vibrant, sweet-and-spicy glaze.
3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt.
4
Place the salmon on the tray and brush generously with the harissa mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, toss the cooked quinoa with panko, smoked paprika, and the remaining olive oil until well-coated.
6
Press this mixture firmly onto the top of each salmon fillet to form a textured, crunchy crust.
7
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden-brown.
8
Serve immediately with a side of charred broccolini or fresh herb salad for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
