Why You Should Make This Sweet and Spicy Coconut Salmon

  • Bursting with Flavor: The combination of Miller’s Sweet and Spicy Banana Pepper Hot Sauce and creamy coconut milk creates a sauce that’s spicy, sweet and tangy, elevating the flavor of the salmon to restaurant-quality.
  • Quick and Easy: With minimal prep and cook time, this salmon recipe is ready in under 20 minutes. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, or last-minute dinner plans.
  • Healthy and Wholesome: Salmon is a nutrient powerhouse, and paired with steamed rice and veggies, this quick and easy meal idea is packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins.

Ingredients

  • Salmon: Easily substitute with any cod, your favorite white fish, shrimp, or even chicken. For a plant-based option, try tofu or tempeh.
  • Coconut Milk: If unavailable, use heavy cream or half-and-half for a creamy texture.
  • Miller’s Sweet and Spicy Banana Pepper Hot Sauce: Substitute with Miller’s Mild Banana Pepper Sauce for less heat.
  • Soy Sauce: Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
  • Cilantro: If you’re not a fan of cilantro, use parsley or Thai basil.
  • Steamed Rice: If preparing in a rice cooker, start cooking the rice first. Prepackaged rice is a great option for quickness. Easily replace the rice with cauliflower rice, orzo, mashed potatoes, or steamed spinach.
  • Steamed Vegetables: Steamed snow peas are a great compliment to this dish. Easily substitute with spinach, bok choy, asparagus, zucchini or Brussels sprouts.

How to Make Sweet and Spicy Coconut Salmon

  1. Brush the salmon filets with two tablespoons of Miller’s Sweet and Spicy Banana Pepper Hot Sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 9-10 minutes. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, heat a sauté pan to medium. Add the remaining Miller’s Sweet and Spicy Banana Pepper Hot Sauce and stir, allowing it to slightly caramelize.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and add the soy sauce. Mix well and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  5. Stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Adjust with extra lime juice, if desired.
  6. Place steamed rice in a bowl with the steamed vegetables. Top with the salmon and spoon on the sweet and spicy coconut sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

How to Serve and Store

  • Serve this Sweet and Spicy Coconut Salmon immediately with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete, balanced meal. The banana pepper sauce pairs well with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added zest.
  • Store any leftover salmon and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Notes

  • If steaming rice, start this first. Microwavable rice is a great, quick and easy alternative.
  • Easily steam the vegetables while the salmon is cooking. 
  • If you do not own an air fryer, bake the salmon on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 12-14 minutes.
  • Try not to burn the banana pepper sauce as it’s caramelizing (you just need a minute or two).
  • Do not over cook the sauce. Once the coconut milk and soy sauce are added, simmer for only 2-3 minutes.
  • Don’t forget the squeeze of fresh lime juice. 
  • Easily replace the cilantro with parsley or Thai basil.
  • This recipe will yield enough sauce for four salmon filets.
