Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, brown sugar, and coconut. Let the mixture come to a boil, then take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour the marinade into a large bowl, add the salmon, and turn it gently to coat. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least half an hour.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a bit of the marinade on the bottom of a baking dish, then arrange the salmon on top. Pour some of the remaining marinade over the fish, making sure to get some of that coconut on there too.

Step 3
Bake the salmon for about 25 minutes, basting it now and then with the leftover marinade. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. If you have any marinade left, it’s best to boil it for a few minutes before spooning it over the salmon to make sure it’s safe to eat. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the natural sweetness of honey with the tropical flavor of coconut, creating a unique and delicious glaze for the salmon. It’s a perfect balance of savory and sweet that feels both comforting and fresh.
How to serve
Serve with a side of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the sauce. A fresh green salad or roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli will add a nice contrast and keep the meal light and healthy.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to keep the salmon moist and avoid drying out the glaze.
