Directions

For the sauce:
Put 2 tablespoons coconut oil into a large skillet over low-med heat and then add ginger. Saute for 30 seconds and then the fennel seeds, cardamom seeds, brown mustard, seeds and ground coriander; cook for 10 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring well. Pour in the coconut milk and simmer for about 15 minutes, until sauce is thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.

For the salmon:
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper and then sear them on each side for 7 to 8 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Put the salmon on a plate and ladle some sauce over it.

    Really great taste and easy to prepare. As far as the salmon goes, I grilled it in my electric grill pan after brushing it with the coconut oil and then put in in the pan with the sauce. If anyone had trouble with the seeds being too hard, you have to wait for the mustard seeds to pop and cook the sauce for the specified amount of time. I used the coconut milk from the entire can and it was delish! Will be making this again!
