The Execution
1. Gather and prep all ingredients.
2. Slice the salmon into 1-inch cubes. Drizzle with olive oil and rub into the salmon, coating all pieces.
3. Mix together the coating by combining shredded coconut, turmeric, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add salmon cubes to the coating mixture and toss to coat evenly.
