Coconut‑Chile Salmon and Greens

In this one-skillet meal, silky salmon and greens grow rich, sweet and spicy as they roast with a mixture of dried coconut, garlic and crushed red pepper. The dish is inspired by thoran, a Keralan dish in which vegetables are stir-fried with fresh grated coconut and warm spices. Here, the vegetable is chard, and instead of stir-frying it, it’s roasted, which allows the coconut, chile and garlic to infuse the greens as their leaves soften and crisp. Instead of chard, you can use kale, but remove and discard its ribs and stems first. Lime-zested salmon cooks next to the greens, accentuating the tender and buttery qualities of the dish.
