Creating Coconut Lime Salmon is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve the best results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Cook the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. If grilling, place the fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side. For baking, place the fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
5. Baste the Salmon: If desired, baste the salmon with leftover marinade during cooking for added flavor.
6. Check Doneness: The salmon should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when properly cooked.
7. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick.
