Instructions

MAKE THE MARINADE:

Dump all the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend or pulse 15 to 20 seconds. Pour into a bowl or storage jar.
Note: You will only be using 1/2 cup of this marinade for the fish. The remaining marinade can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to one month.

FOR THE SALMON:

Preheat the oven broiler if needed.

Season the salmon with 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher.
Pour in 1/2 cup of the jerk marinade.
Mix to coat the salmon pieces. Set aside for 15 to 30 minutes.
Prepare an oven proof grill pan - spray with canola oil.
Add the salmon pieces, skin side down, on the broiler pan.
Broil the salmon under the broiler, 6" to 8" from the heat source. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness.
Remove the pan, plate and serve the salmon with your favorite side dish or on a bed of salad.
