Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons store-bought or homemade Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon garlic granules or powder
- 1 heaped tablespoon store-bought or homemade harissa paste
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika (any kind)
- Finely grated zest of 1 lime and a good squeeze of juice (about 1 teaspoon zest and 1 to 2 tablespoons juice)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Generous amount of sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound 2 ounce skinless salmon fillets cut into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) chunks
To serve
- tortilla wraps
- sliced tomatoes
- Finely sliced onion
- cilantro leaves
- Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.☞ TESTER TIP: Be certain to turn the fan on your oven or exhaust or the burnt-on remnants of last weekend's apple pie will suddenly fill the kitchen.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, garlic, harissa, turmeric, paprika, lime zest and juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
- Add the salmon and toss to coat. (You can cover and refrigerate this for up to an hour or two if need be but it's not at all necessary.) Spread the salmon on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the salmon until it’s the same color throughout, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the salmon immediately with tortilla wraps, tomatoes, finely sliced onion, cilantro, and Greek yogurt.
