I come from a small town called Tigzirt by the shore in North Africa (Algeria), where we have different fresh seafood everyday. My mom use to make this Tajine with sardines, so I thought why not giving is a try with salmon and it came out amazingly tasty.
This Tajine was a hit at a friend’s potluck. Everyone was asking for the recipe and I thought I should blog it. The amazing part about it is, it’s super easy to make. You just place everything together in the oven dish and your delicious Tagine is ready in 40 minutes.
