Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
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.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin side down. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is fully coated.
Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
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.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or coconut rice, and enjoy the tropical flavors of the South Pacific!
