For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

For the Coconut Tomato Sauce:

  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup jasmine rice (or rice of your choice)
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, stir in lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Set aside.

Step 3: Season the Salmon

  • While the rice cooks, place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 4: Prepare the Coconut Tomato Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.

Step 5: Roast the Salmon

  • Place the baking sheet with salmon in the preheated oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Serve

  • On each plate, serve a portion of rice topped with a salmon fillet and generously ladle the coconut tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
