For the Coconut Rice:

- ½ cup canned coconut milk
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1¼ cups water
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ½ cup coconut chips
For the Salmon:
- 1 pound salmon file with the skin removed, cut into 4 slices

For the Mango Salsa:

Begin by making the Coconut Rice: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In an 8x8 baking dish, stir together all the ingredients. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Keep covered and warm until serving. Sprinkle with coconut chips before serving.
Next make the Salmon: Heat a skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Season the salmon with all the spices and cook on all sides until 145 degrees inside. This should take 10 to 15 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, make the Mango Salsa: Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
Serve the salmon topped with the salsa and on top of the rice.
