Oven-Roasted Salmon with Harissa Cream
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil the inside of a 9x12-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    Set the salmon fillet in the baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Lay the lemon slices and onion rings on top of the salmon.

  3. 3

    Stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, harissa, and smoked paprika in a bowl until smooth; spread the mixture over the salmon, lemon, and onion slices. Drizzle the orange juice and wine around the salmon.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is heated through and starting to turn opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. Take the baking dish out of the oven, position a broiler rack about 5 inches from the broiler, and turn the broiler on. Broil the fish until well browned, about 3 minutes.
