Baked Salmon with Coconut Crust requires about 45 minutes from start to finish. One serving contains 239 calories, 24g of protein, and 9g of fat. This recipe serves 4. It is a good option if you're following a dairy free and pescatarian diet. Head to the store and pick up salt and pepper, lemon juice, coconut, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the sweetened coconut you could follow this main course with the Peanut Butter and Jelly Coconut Cashew Sandwich Cookies (no-bake, vegan, gluten-free) as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.
