Season salmon with salt and pepper and sear in olive oil until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté garlic and ginger, then add spices and toast briefly.
Stir in coconut milk, tomato paste, and salt. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Return salmon to the skillet and simmer gently until cooked through.
Melt butter with garlic, then stir in herbs.
Drizzle garlic butter over salmon, finish with lime juice, and serve.
Use full-fat coconut milk for best texture.
Simmer gently to keep salmon tender.
Adjust spice level with chili flakes.
