Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Bell Peppers

Chop the bell peppers into small pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and sauté until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Salmon

Pat the king salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sear the Salmon

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.

Combine and Serve

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the heat. In a bowl, mix the sautéed bell peppers with the Tunisian harissa. Serve the seared salmon on a plate, topped with the stewed peppers and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
