Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to form a marinade.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the harissa marinade.
Let marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

Adjust harissa amount to control heat level.
Serve with couscous, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Use skin-on fillets if desired; bake skin-side down for crispy results.
