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.

WELCOME! My name is Melissa Latin aka. Charlotte Fashion Plate. Happy to meet you! I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him!

Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!

In addition, I’m so very excited to announce I have published my first e-book and paperback, “Mastering Thanksgiving – A Guide to Perfecting Your Thanksgiving Dinner.” Your support would mean the world to me.
