Ingredients
4 salmon filets, skin on (1/2 pound each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons harissa
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 3–4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Do not move the fish during this time.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and harissa until well combined, creating a smooth glaze.
Carefully brush the harissa-honey glaze over the top side of each salmon filet, distributing it evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 8–10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F at the thickest part.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the filets.
Comments
Harissa is the real constraint here—Harris Teeter and Kroger carry it in their international aisles, but if you hit Food Lion or ALDI first, plan a second stop. The other ingredients are basic pantry and butcher staples available everywhere. At roughly $4–5 per salmon fillet in Charlotte, plus a drizzle of honey and harissa already in your cabinet, you're looking at $18–22 for four servings, which is solid protein cost for a weeknight but not budget-tier. The 25 minutes is honest if you count patting the fish dry and preheating, though glazing happens in the last few minutes. This reheats adequately the next day, making it a practical family dinner that scales up or down without fussiness, and it's a straightforward one-pan meal that needs no constant attention once it hits the oven.
