A vibrant and flavorful dish combining spiced salmon with fragrant coconut rice and a sweet and tangy mango salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
