Ingredients
Jerk Salmon
- 4 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 thick salmon fillets roughly 140g/5oz each
Mango and Avocado Salsa
- 1 small red onion diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 100 g mango diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 6 cherry tomatoes diced
- 1 red chilli sliced (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro)
To serve (optional)
- Rice or tortillas
- Extra fresh coriander (cilantro)
- Extra limes
Instructions
- Mix the paprika, allspice, cayenne pepper, pinch of salt, juice of 1 lime and olive oil together in a bowl. Add the salmon and turn in the marinade to coat well. Marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Just before you start cooking the fish, make the salsa. Mix the diced red onion and lime juice together in a bowl first, then add all the other salsa ingredients and mix again. Set aside to allow the flavours to develop.
- Cook the salmon under a medium-hot grill (broiler) for 9 minutes. Skin side up for the first 3 minutes (to get a crispy skin) then skin side down for the remaining 6 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- Alternatively, you could cook the salmon on the BBQ.
- Serve with the salsa and either rice or tortillas, if you wish.
