Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons shredded coconut
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ pound skinless king salmon fillet, cut into small pieces and brought to room temperature

Steps:

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.
Mix brown sugar, coconut, and salt together in a shallow bowl.
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.
Remove skillet from the heat and cover for a few minutes or until ready to serve; this helps caramelize the coconut crust.
