Spiced Salmon with Roasted Carrots and Coconut Rice

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring pan-seared salmon with a sweet and spicy kick, served alongside perfectly roasted carrots and creamy coconut rice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon filets (6 oz each)
  • 1 lb Carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup Cooked Rice
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. In a saucepan, combine cooked rice and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  3. Meanwhile, pat salmon filets dry and season with salt, pepper, ginger, cumin, paprika, and cinnamon. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Serve roasted carrots alongside coconut rice and pan-seared salmon. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
