• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Toss the cashews and coconut with the oil, curry powder and salt in the baking pan.

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
• For the fish: Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Drizzle the parchment with olive oil and place the fish on top. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, turning the fillets to coat them with the oil. Sprinkle the top of the fish with the coriander and curry powder, then roast until the cod is just cooked through and flakes apart easily, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Serve the fish with the cashew coconut topping and lime wedges on the side.

Heat 1-inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place the semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Use a rubber spatula to stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth, about 5 to 6 minutes. transfer the melted chocolate to a 4-quart bowl. Add the cashews and coconut. Use a rubber spatula to stir until the cashews and coconut are completely coated with chocolate.
• Immediately portion the mixture by heaping tablespoons (approximately 1 1/2 ounces) for each cluster, onto waxed paper.
