Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 stalks (sliced) Green onions
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (for greasing) Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, brown sugar, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin side down. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is fully coated.

Step 4

Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or coconut rice, and enjoy the tropical flavors of the South Pacific!
