The glaze on the fish is mostly comprised of harissa, a Tunisian spice paste that ranges in heat from mild to fiery (choose the option that best suits your family’s tastes). Look for it either near the barbecue and hot sauces or on the global foods aisle. If you can’t find it, you can substitute a teaspoon to a tablespoon of sriracha or gochujang.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

½ cup(s)

Reduced-sugar apricot jam

1 Tbsp

Ground cumin

¼ tsp

Harissa paste

2½ Tbsp

Honey

1 Tbsp

Uncooked salmon

20 oz, 4 (5-oz) fillets

Kosher salt

¾ tsp, divided

Black pepper

½ tsp, divided

Cooked medium grain brown rice

3 cup(s), warmed

Scallions

3 medium, sliced

Cilantro

3 Tbsp, chopped

Baby spinach

4 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler to high with the rack 6 inches below the element. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, jam, and cumin; set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the harissa and honey. Arrange the salmon on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the salmon evenly with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Place under the broiler for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Brush the harissa mixture evenly over the salmon; broil until the fish flakes easily or to desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the rice, scallions, cilantro, and remaining ¼ tsp each salt and black pepper. Serve the salmon with the rice mixture, sauce, and spinach.
  5. Serving size: ¾ cup rice, 1 salmon fillet, 2 tbsp sauce, and 1 cup spinach
