1

Prep and roast the broccoli and fish

Heat the oven to 425°F.

  • Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli. On one end of the sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], drizzle the broccoli with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Rub the fish all over with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish (skin side down for salmon) on the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan].

Roast, turning the broccoli halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and the fish is opaque and flaky, 8 to 10 minutes. 

While the broccoli and fish are roasting, prepare the tapenade and the harissa tahini sauce.

2

Make the tapenade; finish the sauce

  • Coarsely chop the almonds.
  • Coarsely chop the dates, checking for any pits.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Coarsely chop the dill.

In a small bowl, stir together the almonds, dates, mint, dill, and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In another small bowl, stir together the lemon tahini and as much harissa powder as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish and broccoli to individual plates. Top the fish with the almond-date tapenade and as much harissa tahini sauce as you like. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.
