    I used fillets, and so I put the tomatoes in for 10 minutes before adding the fish. Next time I'll give the tomatoes more time, because we liked the almost candied taste that the very cooked ones got. This was very pleasant, and even my fish leery family liked it. I used orange this time, think I'd use lemon next time.

    An easy and delicious recipe that depends on good quality harissa, if it’s harissa in a tube, consider adding additional spices. My mid-winter tomatoes turned surprisingly jammy and made a lovely sauce for the orecchiette I served alongside. I roasted cauliflower and leeks tossed with the harissa mixture and a squeeze of orange as the veg. All in all a very easy dinner that everyone enjoyed.

    I had a freakishly big red snapper so doubled the rest of the ingredients. It made a nice sauce so next time I would definitely add more tomatoes. If whole snappers are easy to get I would definitely do this on a weeknight.

    Super quick and easy. I used lemon. I liked it quite a bit.

    Easy and quick to make, this is a great weeknight dinner. I roasted the citrus on the tray with the fish, so that it'd be warm and jammy when squeezed over the fish. I also subbed fillets versus doing a whole fish, just adding them later in the cooking time. I'd repeat this recipe.

    This was okay- but I forgot to add the citrus at the end so that might have improved the dish. I liked the sauce the roasted tomatoes made but felt the dish could use more complexity- maybe some olives?

    Tasty and easy. The tomatoes and Harissa sauce are delicious their own, but also add a nice complexity to the fish.
