Jerk Salmon

I’m a fan of anything jerk flavored, that’s why this jerk salmon recipe is always a hit. I hook up a sweet yet spicy Caribbean marinade that really flavors the fish deeply before I cook it up. I finish with a fresh pineapple salsa that cools down the heat. So good and super easy boos.

When the craving hits again, reheat the salmon in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through, keeping it tender and juicy.
