Harissa Salmon & Broccoli, a North African Lunch

Harissa Salmon & Broccoli delivered from Martha & Marley Spoon, is a warm spicy tone of traditional North African spices. 30 minutes from prep to table. If you are looking for a meal with complex flavors, the Harissa Salmon & Broccoli with Almonds over a bed of Israeli Couscous is just what you are looking for. The flavor profile in this meal includes a combination of a variety of red chile peppers and an assortment of herbs.

Included in the kit is a recipe card that shares a tidbit of information on the dish. I learned Harissa paste is a staple of North African cooking cuisine and the peppers are packed with bold richness. In one bite you are transported to the lavish flavors of North African cuisine through this traditional spice that can be used in stews, curries, and roasted vegetables!

Tandoori Salmon with Basmati Pilaf & Cucumber Raita

A refreshing cucumber side dish is just what you need during this hot summer of Covid-19. This dish will offer a mild pack of heat complimented with a cool cucumber ratia salad. If you love cucumber and raw garlic, with a roasted tandoori-spiced salmon, this is your next dish to cook for either a lunch or a dinner with the family!

The Tandoori Salmon with Basmati Pilaf & Cucumber Raita salad is from Martha & Marley Spoon. So far, I am impressed with the meals, and the insulation of the box along with the cold packs to keep all of the main ingredients fresh for delivery.
