Place the turmeric and desiccated coconut on a sheet of greaseproof paper

Sprinkle evenly over the fish.

Bake in the oven at 220C/425F for 20-25 minutes.

Serve with yellow rice and sambal salads - eg cucumber, finely chopped
tomato and onion, green peppers finely diced and mixed with grated carrot.
