Transport your senses to the Caribbean with this simple, flavorful pan-fried jerk salmon topped with scallions, cilantro, and ginger.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (3 ounce) fillets salmon fillets, or more to taste
  • ice cold water to cover
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 drops lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons jerk marinade, or more to taste
  • 3 bunches scallions, chopped
  • 0.5 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
  • Submerge the salmon in a large bowl of icy water and add 1 pinch of salt. Allow it to soak for approximately 10 minutes. Use a knife to scrape off all scales by running it along the skin.
  • Give the salmon a refreshing rinse in icy water and zesty lemon juice. Gently pat it dry with a paper towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Lightly sprinkle the mixture over both sides of each salmon fillet. Rub jerk marinade onto both sides of the salmon.
  • Combine salmon fillets with scallions, onion, cilantro, and ginger in a large bowl, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
  • In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, sizzle the oil. Sear salmon fillets skin-side down until the skin crisps up, around 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the flesh turns a beautiful pale pink, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Cook the salmon in the preheated oven until the flesh easily flakes with a fork, for about 2 minutes. Let the salmon rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
