Spiced Salmon with Coconut-Lime Glaze and Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring succulent salmon coated in a tangy coconut-lime glaze, paired perfectly with roasted sweet potato rounds for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
  4. While the sweet potatoes roast, place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the coconut-lime glaze over the salmon, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer marinated salmon to the baking sheet with the roasted sweet potatoes. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve: Enjoy the spiced salmon with the coconut-lime glaze and roasted sweet potato rounds immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint if desired.
