Spiced Salmon with Coconut-Lime Rice and Roasted Green Beans

A flavorful and healthy weeknight meal featuring pan-seared salmon seasoned with aromatic spices, served alongside vibrant coconut-lime rice and tender roasted green beans.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry and rub spice mixture evenly over both sides.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.
  5. While salmon bakes, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Meanwhile, toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  7. Serve salmon over coconut-lime rice, garnished with roasted green beans and additional fresh cilantro.
