Jamaican Jerk Salmon
This salmon can be prepared multiple ways. To bake, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. A 1lb 1” thick piece will take about 12 minutes. Leaving the fillet whole works best for baking. The pan sear this salmon, sauté in a little olive oil over medium high heat for 3 minutes skin side up. Flip it over and cook for 5 more minutes. To grill the salmon, cook for 5-6 minutes skin side up over the coals. Flip it and cook for 8 more minutes. To broil the salmon, cook for 5 minutes skin side up 6” from the broiler. Flip it and cook for 3 more minutes. When I pan sear, grill, or broil my salmon, I like to cut the fillets into 2-3 portions. It is a little easier to handle in these types of cooking situations.
