  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the harissa paste, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and vinegar as needed
  3. Pour over the salmon and with your hands or a small spatula coat the fish well with the marinade
  4. Bake until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C – 15-20 minutes
