Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 4 tablespoons shredded coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Mix brown sugar, coconut, and salt together in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Heat remaining butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each piece of salmon first into the melted butter and then into the coconut mixture; drop into the hot butter. Sear quickly, about 2 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side, about 2 minutes more.

Step 4

Remove skillet from the heat and cover for a few minutes or until ready to serve; this helps caramelize the coconut crust.
