This is super-quick, thanks to one of my all-time favorite speedy-gourmet ingredients - harissa. Harissa is a chunky Moroccan red hot sauce. It's not just hot though, it's very flavorful. My favorite brand, Alili, contains hot peppers, sweet peppers, and carrots, and is actually made in Morocco. For you Athens people, this is available at a specialty grocery store on Baxter Street called The Healthy Gourmet. It is also available at alilimorocco.com. I have made this with both wild salmon and mahi-mahi, and it was great on both kinds of fish. This may not sound like kid food, but this is my kids' favorite way I make fish.
Wild salmon or mahi-mahi fillets
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon harissa
Kosher salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels, and put on a foil-lined baking sheet. In a microwaveable cup or bowl, melt butter. Mix harissa into melted butter. Spread mixture evenly over fish with a spoon, working quickly (if the butter solidifies it makes it harder to spread). Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Broil until fish is cooked all the way through. Do not overcook.
I like this served with roasted asparagus and sliced tomatoes.
