Can I substitute the feta with another cheese?

Yes, goat cheese or ricotta work well too, but feta gives that typical salty taste.

Short pasta like fusilli or penne mixes well, but linguine is also delicious.

How spicy is harissa?

Harissa adds a strong, spicy kick. If you don't like spicy food, halve the amount or replace it with bell pepper puree.

Easy

This dish is one that everyone has seen on social media, which you can put on the table without too much effort, but is still packed with flavor. This is my version! The feta melts gently in the oven with the cherry tomatoes, while the salmon retains its full flavor and the harissa adds a spicy touch. A real winner for a weekday, but also festive enough to impress friends or family.
