Spiced Salmon with Roasted Grapes and Coconut Quinoa

A vibrant and flavorful dish combining perfectly spiced salmon with sweet roasted grapes and fluffy coconut quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Zest of 1 lime

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss grapes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. While grapes roast, cook quinoa according to package directions, substituting coconut milk for water. Stir in cilantro and lime zest once cooked.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a separate piece of parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper. Bake alongside the roasted grapes for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.
  5. Serve salmon over coconut quinoa, topped with roasted grapes.
