Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin on)
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Palm sugar (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 pieces Shallots (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 3 tablespoons Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 piece Red chili (sliced thin, for garnish - optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, palm sugar, minced garlic, minced shallots, grated ginger, turmeric powder, coconut milk, lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the marinade generously over each fillet, making sure to coat them completely. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting.

Step 4

Allow the salmon to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.

Step 5

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

After 15 minutes, remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining marinade. Return the salmon to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced red chili (if using) before serving. Serve warm with steamed rice or a side of sautéed vegetables.
