Spiced Salmon with Coconut-Lime Glaze and Roasted Sweet Potatoes

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring pan-seared salmon coated in a sweet and tangy coconut-lime glaze, served alongside roasted sweet potatoes for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon filets (6 oz each)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato pieces with 1 tablespoon 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, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, ginger, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon filets with salt and pepper.
  4. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  5. Pour coconut-lime glaze over the salmon during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken.
  6. Serve salmon immediately over roasted sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
