Spicy Salmon with Coconut-Lime Rice

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring pan-seared salmon with a spicy kick, served over creamy coconut-lime rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and honey. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Brush with half of the marinade during cooking.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and lime juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in cilantro.
  4. Serve the salmon over the coconut-lime rice, drizzling with remaining marinade.
