For this Mediterranean meal, salmon fillets are marinated in a well-balanced mixture of smoky-spicy harissa powder, honey, and lime juice, then air-fried until crisp skinned and flaky. The salmon is served over vibrant turmeric rice and topped with shirazi, a fresh, juicy Persian-style salad of tomato, cucumber, and red onion seasoned with parsley, dill, and sumac.
