Spiced Salmon with Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Cilantro Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• For the coconut cilantro sauce:
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. Roast the sweet potatoes: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Cook the salmon: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Assemble the dish: Serve the seared salmon over the caramelized sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the coconut cilantro sauce. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro, if desired.
