Caribbean Jerk Salmon
Ingredients
  • 4 (3 ounce) fillets salmon fillets, or more to taste
  • ice cold water to cover
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 drops lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons jerk marinade, or more to taste
  • 3 bunches scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging the salmon in a large container filled with ice-cold water and a small amount of salt. Allow it to chill for approximately 10 minutes. Next, use a sharp knife to carefully scrape off any scales from the salmon's exterior.
2
Following this, rinse the salmon under cold running water and then dip it briefly into a mixture of ice-cold water and lemon juice. Finally, use a paper towel to gently pat the salmon dry.
3
In order to prepare the oven, preheat it to a temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). To season the salmon, mix together a small amount of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a separate container. Then, sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet.
4
After that, take the jerk marinade and apply it evenly to both sides of each salmon fillet.
5
Subsequently, combine the chopped scallions, onion, cilantro, and ginger in a bowl. Mix these ingredients well to create a harmonious blend.
6
Heat some oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets skin-side down, if necessary, in batches to prevent overcrowding, until the skin is golden brown. Flip the salmon over and continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the flesh is pale pink.
7
Once cooked on the stovetop, place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
8
Finally, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
