Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and cumin.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should be golden brown and crust forms.
Step 4
Lower heat to medium. Add butter and harissa to the pan, swirling to coat the chops evenly.
Step 5
Cut lemon into wedges. Sear wedges cut-side down in the pan alongside chops for 90 seconds until caramelized.
Step 6
Drizzle honey over chops. Plate with charred lemon and cilantro. Serve immediately.
