This is a delicious recipe full of flavor, thanks to a spicy jerk marinade and honey. The fillets are finished off with a touch of honey. The fillets are glazed to perfection with a sweet and spicy balance.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 tbsp. Wet Jerk Marinade mild or hot (store-bought or homemade)
- 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil
Honey Jerk Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tsp. Wet Jerk Marinade
- 2 tbsp. hot water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season the flesh side with salt and pepper, then rub it evenly with 1 tablespoon jerk marinade.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add thyme sprigs and crushed garlic, then add salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes, or until the skin crisps and the fillets release easily from the pan. Carefully flip with a wide spatula and cook the other side until done. Transfer salmon to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and leave about 1-2 tsp. of oil in the skillet, discarding the rest. Add honey, remaining jerk marinade and hot water. Stir until combined and slightly thickened.
- Return salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them until fully coated. Serve hot and enjoy!
