Marinate the Salmon. Score parallel lines across the salmon skin with a sharp knife. Set it into a large dish. Pour the jerk marinade over the salmon and rub it into the flesh. Cover and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, remove salmon, tap off any excess marinade, and discard the marinade. This jerk salmon recipe is made with thick cut fillets of salmon that we marinate in a vibrant, fragrant, spicy Jamaican jerk marinade that develops tons of addictive flavor. Scotch bonnet peppers are key here, with their fiery heat and fruity flavor, adding so much to the overall spiciness of the dish. Spicy food lovers will rejoice when they try this salmon. Whipping the jerk marinade together is as simple as tossing everything into a food process or blender. Just pour the marinade over the salmon, then pan sear the fillets until they’re done to your liking. You can also bake the salmon if you prefer. It’s a quick and easy weeknight meal for you, one you’ll find yourself returning to over and over again. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Let’s talk about how we make jerk salmon, shall we?
