Spiced Salmon with Coconut-Lime Glaze and Roasted Sweet Potato

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring salmon glazed with a tangy coconut-lime sauce, complemented by sweet roasted potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, lime juice, honey, ginger, cumin powder, and paprika. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush generously with the prepared glaze.
  4. Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  5. Serve roasted sweet potatoes alongside glazed salmon. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped lime wedges, if desired.
