The Kitchen Tourists Are Jerks For This Salmon Salad Recipes

THE KITCHEN TOURISTS ARE JERKS FOR THIS SALMON SALAD!

Steps:

• FOR JERK SALMON:.
• Combine all wet jerk seasoning ingredients (garlic through peanut oil) in the bowl of a food processor. Process until mixture turns into a paste.
• Rub jerk paste onto all sides of the salmon fillets. Allow rubbed salmon to stand in refrigerator for 1 hour (at least 30 minutes if you are short on time). Wash the food processor bowl and set aside to use for the vinaigrette.
• Once the salmon is ready to cook, plug in your Foreman grill and set it to 300 degrees F. When the grill is heated to temperature, lightly spray the grill plates with nonstick cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, close the lid, and set timer for 8 minutes. Once salmon is cooked, remove from the grill.
• FOR TROPICAL VINAIGRETTE:.
• While salmon is marinating, combine first seven ingredients for the Tropical Vinaigrette (mango through honey mustard) in bowl of the food processor. While processor is running, drizzle in olive oil until fully incorporated. Stop processor and add salt and pepper to taste.
• FOR ISLAND SALAD:.
• Toss all salad ingredients except for cashews together.
• FINAL ASSEMBLY:.
• Divide tossed salad into 4 bowls. Sprinkle cashews over each bowl. Pour desired amount of vinaigrette over each salad, then top with a piece of cooked salmon. If desired, drizzle more dressing over the salmon, or cut salmon into chunks and toss it into the salad. 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.

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.
