Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut, stirring frequently until golden and toasted, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro.

Step 5

Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly distribute the spiced coconut crumb mixture over the fillets, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your flavorful Roast Salmon with Spiced Coconut Crumbs!
