Jamaican Jerk Salmon!

I know you are all being super diligent with taking your fish oil to get those extra points for the challenge... right? Well, go that extra mile this week and cook up your own omega-3s and season it with this delicious Jamaican Jerk Rub, courtesy of Primal Palate.


Jamaican Jerk Salmon

Ingredients:

1 pound wild caught salmon, cut into 4-6 oz portions
1 teaspoon all spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
The juice of 1.5 limes

Process:
  1. Rinse salmon under water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Cut salmon into 4-6 oz portions, and place in a gallon ziplock bag.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together spices, olive oil, and lime juice.
  4. Pour marinade over salmon, seal bag, and make sure the salmon is evenly coated in the marinade.
  5. Marinate salmon for 2-4 hours before grilling.
  6. Preheat grill to 400.
  7. Place salmon on a fish plate, skin side down first, and grill for 4 minutes a side, flipping once.
  8. You can also bake this in the oven, 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, broil for about 8 minutes per side, or fry in a skillet.  This rub will taste delicious no matter how you cook the salmon, so do what you are comfortable with.
