This healthy salmon dish is glazed with a low carb or keto sauce made up of mayonaise and harissa paste. Harissa is a complex chile paste featuring spices of caraway, cumin and coriander.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 9 x 12-inch baking dish with oil or something like PAM. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and arrange salmon in baking dish.
16 ounces salmon, salt and pepper to taste
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, harissa paste, and smoked paprika, stirring until smooth. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the fish as evenly as possible.
Place the lemon slices around the salmon and bake in the preheated oven until the fish is hot and has begun to turn opaque (about 6 min).
1 lemon
Remove from the oven, turn the oven on broil, and raise the oven rack to the broil position. When up to broil temperature return the salmon to the broiler rack and broil until nicely browned, about 3 min.
Enjoy the Harissa Glazed Salmon with roasted Winter squash and a side of harissa sauce to spread on the squash if desired. Refrigerate any leftover for tomorrow's lunch!
