#  Chilli, Coconut &amp; Lime Salmon With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes  


Once you’ve tried this South Indian seasoning – blitzed coconut, chilli, mint, garlic and lime – you’ll be putting it on absolutely everything: white fish, chicken, paneer, roasted veg... Here it seasons a salmon and cherry tomato traybake, forming a crust for the salmon and a wonderful flavouring for the roasted tomatoes and onions. A nice quick one-dish supper.

Serves

 2 

 



Total Time

 35 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    4 tbsp of desiccated coconut  

   1 fresh red chilli  

   Handful of mint leaves, plus extra to serve  

   2 cloves of garlic  

   Juice of 2 limes  

   1 red onion, thinly sliced  

   250g of vine cherry tomatoes, halved  

   2 sustainable salmon fillets  

   2 tbsp of neutral or olive oil  

   1 tsp of sea salt flakes  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C Fan/200°C/Gas 6.



 Step 2 

Tip the coconut, chilli, mint leaves, garlic, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil and the sea salt into a spice grinder or high-speed blender/Nutribullet and blitz roughly until the chilli looks evenly incorporated through the coconut (you’ll have a reddish, greenish rubble).



 Step 3 

Mix the sliced onion and cherry tomatoes in a medium roasting tin along with the remaining oil. Make space for the 2 salmon fillets, place them in the tin skin side down, then pat a tablespoon of the coconut-chilli mixture evenly over each fillet. Scatter the remaining mixture over the onions and tomatoes.



 Step 4 

Transfer to the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Scatter with mint leaves and serve hot, with rice alongside if you wish.



 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTES: You can substitute the salmon for cod, haddock or another firm-fleshed white fish – it’ll take about the same time to cook. To carb it up in the same tin, start by roasting off cubed sweet potato with a little olive oil and salt in your roasting tin for 30 minutes, before continuing with the recipe as above.
