Salmon and Sweet Potato Bake
Description
The recipe begins by thinly slicing sweet potatoes and layering them with sliced spring onions in an ovenproof casserole dish. A mix of vegetable stock and coconut milk, seasoned with mild chili sauce, fish sauce, and lime zest, is poured over the vegetables to create a flavorful poaching liquid. The dish bakes initially to soften the sweet potatoes.
After approximately 20 minutes, salmon fillets are placed atop the tender vegetables and basted with the cooking juices. Baking continues until the salmon cooks through. The use of coconut milk and fish sauce brings a subtle creaminess and umami depth, while lime zest adds brightness. The mild chili sauce offers gentle heat without overpowering.
This one-dish bake combines sweetness from the potatoes with delicate seafood flavor, suitable for a wholesome dinner. The layered cooking method ensures even doneness and melding of flavors. It can be served directly from the casserole, benefiting from the savory broth soaking into the sweet potatoes.
