Sweet & Spicy Harissa Roasted Salmon
I’m kind of shocked at reading the other reviews. This dish was well presented colorfully, delectable pairing with the sauce and salmon. Yes there’ll be A bone… SOFT enough to chew. It’s fish people!

Giving up on salmon from CookUnity. It’s always way too fishy like this dish was.

It may be my fault because I used microwave so I would try oven next time.
