We have three hibiscus trees in our yard in full bloom right now. We pick the spent blossoms in the evening when the bees have gone to bed. Then we dry them. When I saw this recipe I wanted to try it as the salmon is fresh right now. We share with family including the 3,5 and 12 yr old grandaughters. All three loved it and the family agreed that this is the $26.00 entree in some fancy resturant! I will lighten up on the Lime next time and used 1/2 cup of wine. WOW is all we can say!!!!

This was a fun dish to make and had a beautiful presentation. I found the hibiscus flowers at the local natural foods store. Doesn't reheat well, but there wasn't much leftover to begin with!

This was a real hit. I loved the crust. I couldn't find raw cashews, so I used unsalted instead. Our power died just as I had flipped the fish over, so my husband finished it over the fire. This scorched the oil a bit, but since he was in the dark, with aluminum foil on the pan to avoid ashes, and no real heat control, I cut him some slack... When the power came back on I started with fresh oil for the sauce (since I was curious, so there weren't any pan drippings. I used about 1/3C +/- wine as the amount wasn't specified in the recipe. I omitted the hibiscus. The sauce was good, but I'd try it again with the drippings and taste before adding the last bit of lime juice next time. I might also cut down the butter by a bit...My husband and daughter like their fish with a crispy crust, so I'm always looking for a new twist. This one's a keeper.

The crust on this salmon is superb! The method makes the coating stick to the fish better than other batters I've tried. Although I generally like salmon unadorned and unsauced, this crust and sauce did not overpower the fish, rather dressed it up. I omitted the hibiscus but otherwise followed the recipe precisely. Using frozen wild salmon filets, I served this for an everyday meal, which proved to be economical, healthful, and company-good. A pleasant find!

This dish was delicious. The rosemary & coconut are complemented very well by the lime in the sauce. It was simple & quick to make and we had all the ingredients on hand (except the hibiscus which we left out.
The instructions for the sauce have you add white wine - which is not in the ingredient list. I added maybe 1/4-1/2 cup.
I'd be interested to find out what other people have served this with. I made white rice and poured the extra sauce over it. However, the sauce definitely overpowered the rice.

this dish was extremely easy to put together. i didn't use the flowers, but the sauce was still delicious. my husband snarled at me when i told him we were having fish for dinner, but he ate every last bite!! i also substituted mahi for the salmon. the presentation is great as well. i took the leftovers to my neighbors later that night, and she loved it as well, light dish packed with flavor.

Easy to make, tastes like you worked all day. Friends and family said they have never tasted salmon so good before.
