Jerk Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 (3 ounce) fillets salmon fillets, or more to taste
• ice cold water to cover
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 drops lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons jerk marinade, or more to taste
• 3 bunches scallions, chopped
• 0.5 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps

1. 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.
2. Rinse salmon in ice-cold water and lemon juice. Pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4. 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.
5. Place salmon fillets in a large bowl. Add scallions, onion, cilantro, and ginger; mix well to combine.
6. Heat oil in an oven-safe 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.
7. 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.
