Ingredients

  • 4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk, shaken
  • 1 tablespoon green curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F with a rack in the center position.
