Spiced Salmon with Coconut Lime Glaze and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients:
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the halved Brussels sprouts around the salmon. Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with coconut oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned.
- While the salmon and Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine lime juice and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has slightly thickened. Stir in chopped cilantro.
- Remove the salmon and Brussels sprouts from the oven. Brush the salmon generously with the coconut lime glaze. Serve immediately.
