Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
2 tbsp harissa paste
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb baby gold potatoes
2 tbsp za’atar seasoning
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

First, boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes.

Drain and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, smashing each one with the bottom of a glass until flattened.

Drizzle with olive oil and a generous dusting of za’atar, then bake at 425°F for 20 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, whisk the harissa, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Place the salmon fillets on a separate sheet pan, brush generously with the glaze, and roast for 10-12 minutes until flaky.

Whisk the yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice to create a cooling base sauce.

Plate the salmon over the smashed potatoes, dollop with the yogurt mixture, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
