Harissa Tilapia with New Potatoes is a one pan dinner that you will return to time and time again. Post may contain affiliate links.
This Harissa Tilapia with New Potatoes features two of my favorite things. One - it's a super easy one pan meal. Two - it uses Harissa paste. If you haven't tried harissa paste, you have to give it a try. It is the perfect combination of heat and spice. It's shown up quite a few times here: Harissa Beef Skewers with Tahini Slaw, Heirloom Tomato, Harrisa and Green Olive Bruschetta, and Harissa Roasted Squash. One of my favorite ways to use it is with fish. It turns a mild flavored fish into something incredible.
When my CSA gave me some new potatoes and spring onions, both with the dirt still clinging to them, I knew I wanted to use them together. I went searching and found Baked Snapper with Harissa, New Potatoes and Spring Onions. It sounded perfect, only problem is that I didn't have snapper. While their photo of the crispy snapper skin looks amazing, I still decided to go with the versatile tilapia that I had in my freezer. I routinely sub fish all the time. I just go with whatever happens to be in the freezer.
This was such an easy recipe. You basically roast the veggies for a little bit. Then add the fish and finish under the broiler. Since I didn't have any skin to crisp up, I probably didn't need to use the broiler, but I did anyway.
If you have more tilapia to use up, this Miso Glazed Tilapia is a favorite around here!

I love harissa and one pan dinners, so this one is definitely a keeper. Too bad my csa rarely gives me potatoes with dirt still on them:)

I've never had harissa, and hubby doesn't do well with spices anyway (remember the old Alka Seltzer commercials? That's him with anything spicier than garlic). But this looks like a great way to cook tilapia (which I always have in my freezer). Just mnake up a spice drizzle that won't send poor hubster to Heartburn City!
