Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potato and Coconut-Lime Glaze

A flavorful and vibrant dish featuring pan-seared salmon coated in a fragrant spice blend, paired with roasted sweet potatoes drizzled with a tangy coconut-lime glaze.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the glaze:
    • 1/4 cup coconut milk
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While sweet potatoes roast, season salmon fillet with salt and black pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through.
  3. To make the glaze, combine coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and cilantro in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Serve roasted sweet potatoes drizzled with coconut-lime glaze and top with pan-seared salmon.
