Harissa is a chili paste originating from Morocco. It is based on red chili peppers and garlic, mixed with various
spices. It comes in tubes and looks similar to tomato paste, but it lacks the sweet and sour taste, characterized
instead by its spiciness and intense aroma.Unlike hot sauce, harissa is not just about the heat; it also features the flavors of garlic and coriander.This time, we introduce a recipe for salmon glazed with harissa and honey. You can enjoy the contrast of sweet and
spicy, and the garlic and coriander flavors of harissa permeate the fish, so minimal additional seasoning is needed.
Harissa gives the salmon a deep reddish-orange glaze, resulting in a very beautiful finish.Harissa can be found in Middle Eastern markets or gourmet food stores. There are various methods of preparation, but
using those from Morocco, Algeria, or Tunisia, it can be utilized in sauces, stews, butter, dressings, and glazes.
It is characterized by its direct spiciness on the tongue, different from those that stimulate the throat or nose.
