JAMAICAN JERK SALMON AND MANGO PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine mangoes, pineapple, black beans, onion, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, allspice, cumin, thyme, cayenne and cinnamon in another bowl; rub over both sides of each fillet. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook salmon until cooked through, 5 minutes per side. Serve with salsa.

JERK SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon in a large bowl with ice cold water and 1 pinch salt. Let soak, about 10 minutes. Run a knife along the skin to remove all scales.
• Rinse salmon in ice cold water and lemon juice. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle lightly over both sides of each salmon fillet. Rub jerk marinade over both sides of salmon.
• Place salmon fillets in a large bowl. Add scallions, onion, cilantro, and ginger; mix well to combine.
• Heat oil in an ovensafe skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon fillets skin-side down, in batches if necessary, until skin is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until flesh is pale pink, 1 to 2 minutes more. Place skillet in the oven.
• Bake salmon in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and allow salmon to rest before serving, 3 to 5 minutes.

CARIBBEAN JERK GROUPER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the jerk seasoning, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, orange juice, and soy sauce. Clean the grouper fillets and remove the bones. Place the fillets in the marinade, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the grouper fillets from the marinade and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until fish is opaque throughout, turning the grouper every minute. Serve immediately.

SHEET-PAN JERK SALMON

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and set the broiler to high. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Place salmon on a cutting board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife, cut through the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through to the flesh.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, jerk seasoning, paprika and salt, if using. (The jerk seasoning has plenty of salt, so taste before adding salt.) Place salmon portions in the mixture and coat evenly, ensuring the mixture gets into the scored flesh.
• Place on the sheet pan, skin-side up, and broil until the skin is crispy and flesh is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. The exterior will darken considerably, but don't be alarmed. The high heat will help keep the inside moist. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with mango slaw or carrot salad.

SAKE AND MISO MARINATED SALMON WITH COCONUT RICE AND BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso, brown sugar, sake and mirin. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in a large resealable bag. Pour in the marinade and close the bag. Lightly massage to coat the salmon with the marinade. Place the bag flat on a sheet tray. Marinate for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the broiler (on low if you have a low and high setting).
• Line an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with foil and fit with an 8 1/2-by-12-inch wire rack on one side. Drizzle or brush the rack and aluminum foil with some olive oil.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the salmon fillets side-by-side, skin-side down, on top of the rack. Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the broccolini with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt.
• Broil on the top rack until the salmon reaches 135 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes.
• If desired, remove the salmon skin from the fillets before serving. Serve the salmon and broccolini with a side of Coconut Rice.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir. (This creates a nice fat barrier to ensure well-separated grains of rice.) Add the coconut milk, salt and 2 cups water to the pot. Give it a good stir and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then take off the heat with the lid still on and let the rice rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the shredded coconut on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the lime wedges and a nice sprinkle of toasted coconut.

CHIPOTLE COCOA-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to low. Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the House Seasoning, chile powder and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each filet with olive oil and then rub the spice mixture over the top and sides.
• Broil until the salmon is not quite cooked through and feels firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

STICKY JERK SALMON WITH MANGO SLAW

Cook on the top shelf for 8-10 mins or until just cooked through (move the tray down a shelf if the salmon starts getting too caramelised).
