Spiced Salmon with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Lime Glaze

This vibrant dish features flaky salmon drizzled with a sweet and tangy coconut lime glaze, paired perfectly with roasted sweet potatoes. A sprinkle of cumin and paprika adds an exciting twist to the flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Coconut Lime Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden brown.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, lime juice, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pour about half of the glaze over the salmon. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve the salmon drizzled with the remaining coconut lime glaze and alongside the roasted sweet potatoes.
