Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering and fluid, about 2 minutes. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the plantain rounds cut-side down and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until pale golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with half the salt.
