Method

  1. Up to a day ahead, melt the butter in a medium pan, add the cardamom and coconut and stir non-stop for 2 to 3 minutes until the coconut starts to toast. Stir in the chilli, ginger, garlic, ground coriander and turmeric. Cook for another minute then leave to cool.
  2. Arrange the salmon in a single layer, spaced slightly apart, in 1 large or 2 smaller buttered ovenproof dishes. Scatter on the coriander and spread the coconut mixture on top. Cover in cling film and chill (for up to a day) until an hour before cooking.
  3. To serve, turn the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Remove the cling film. Roast the salmon for 13-15 minutes until cooked, but still moist. Bring to the table in the dish(es).

    Oh this was good. The family thought it was really tasty, if a little oily. I just dialed down the chilli amount (used some from a jar), otherwise the recipe remained the same. I'll probably use less butter next time. A great make ahead dish.

    Hi there, Tried this and it did not float my boat. I thought it had a very very unusual texture, but lots of flavour. All the advice I can give is that you may like it so give it a shot, you never know until you try right! Ali X

    I make this dish on a regular basis - even if I don't have all the ingredients! It still works out OK if you use dried ingredients. It's a firm favourite in our family and is easy to make and delicious.

    This is my favourite salmon recipe - the smell of the coconut cooking with the cardamom is fab. Can be prepared ahead so good for a crowd

    A delicious way to serve salmon. I left out the garlic and added the zest of a lime.

    This was really quite disappointing. Although I cannot totally rule out the possibility that I made a mistake somewhere, I found the end result quite bland even after chilling it for over 24 hours. I shall, however, try it again as the majority of views are contrary to my own and the coconut mix smelled delicious while I was making it.
