A vibrant and flavorful salmon dish featuring a creamy coconut sauce infused with warming spices and roasted bell peppers. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rub salmon fillets with olive oil and season with cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toss bell pepper slices with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the peppers are tender.
  5. While the salmon and peppers are roasting, combine coconut milk and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in cilantro.
  6. Serve the roasted salmon topped with the creamy coconut sauce and roasted bell peppers.
