Description
This Baked One Pan Garlic Butter Coconut Salmon recipe delivers rich flavor and an easy cleanup. Tender salmon bakes in a velvety garlic coconut butter sauce, infused with herbs and zesty lime.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat) Juice of 1 lime Zest of 1 lime 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon paprika Salt and pepper to taste Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish) Lime slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking dish. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and honey. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour the garlic coconut butter sauce over the salmon. Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with fresh parsley and lime slices before serving.
Notes
Serve with jasmine rice, roasted vegetables, or quinoa. Do not overcook the salmon—remove it from the oven once it flakes easily. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
