Step 1
Lightly season the salmon. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the oil, onion, garlic, ginger and some seasoning in a pan over a medium heat, and fry for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the chilli and lemongrass, and fry for another minute. Stir in the curry paste and mix for 1 minute. Splash in the soy sauce followed by the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk and lime zest, and mix together.

Step 2
Put the salmon fillets side by side in a medium roasting tin so that they fit snugly. Add the green beans around the fish and spoon over the coconut curry mixture. Season and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.

Step 3
Toast the desiccated coconut in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes or until browned.

Finish by scattering over the toasted coconut, chopped coriander and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Serve with basmati rice, if you like.
