A combination of a free evening, a packet of frozen salmon, and a recently-purchased bag of shredded coconut (a possibility for an upcoming CS-ORS bake-off) led me to this recipe:
Recipe
1 1/2 c butter
3/4 c honey
1/4 c brown sugar
3/4 c flaked coconut
4 salmon fillets (~4 oz each)
Melt your butter, then stir in the honey, brown sugar, and coconut. Pour over your salmon and turn to coat, then marinate in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Preheat your oven to 375, spread some marinade over the bottom of your baking dish, place your salmon in there, and coat with more marinade. Bake about 25 minutes, basting with marinade a few times.
Notes
A good recipe for a lot of flavor from not a lot of ingredients. I was worried it would be overly sweet what with the honey and brown sugar etc., but the butter and (unsweetened!) coconut balances it out a bit. It worked well for some freezer salmon fillets - if you have a high-quality piece you're probably better off doing something more discreet... It's also a pretty large amount of marinade - you're fine scaling it back significantly.
