Jerk Lemon Pepper Salmon
Jerk Lemon Pepper Salmon
Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 pieces of salmon (approximately 1 ½ lbs)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Roasted vegetables (see recipe under “Vegetables”)
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For Lemon Pepper Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Preparation:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the peanut or canola oil.
- Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly coat them with oil and season all sides with the jerk seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Once the oil in the skillet is hot and shimmering, add the salmon fillets. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are slightly charred.
- Transfer the salmon to a lightly greased ovenproof dish and arrange the lemon slices on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Pro Tip: For an extra touch of flavor, ensure the butter begins to brown before adding the salmon. This technique, known as pan-searing, enhances the charred and spiced flavor of the salmon.
