Recipe taken from Dish 2013 Issue 45

  1. Preheat oven to 180 C degrees. Remove the pin bones from the salmon using tweezers. Place the salmon on a lined baking tray and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Topping: Place all the ingredients ( ginger, red chilli, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, turmeric, brown sugar) in a bowl and combine well. Add the coconut and stir to coat in the spices.
  3. Spoon the topping onto the salmon and spread evenly with a fork. Don't press it down firmly. Bake for 8-10 min until just cooked and the top is golden. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon.
  4. Cool then carefully transfer to a flat plate. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  5. To serve: Scatter the coriander, spring onion and chilli over the salmon and serve with lime wedges.
