We
had four nice pieces of Scottish salmon and Bev wanted to grill them. We like to use mayo and after using Sint
Maarten Jerk on some tilapia, we decided to give it a try on the salmon.
I
rubbed oil on the skin side then dusted the non-skin side with the jerk and
gave it a slather of mayo.
I
grilled it for a couple of minutes with the skin side down and as soon as it was
peelable, I flipped it and removed the skin.
I then gave the up side the seasoning/ mayo treatment. When the down side had a little crust, I
flipped again and cooked to an internal temp of 135*. We sided it with some grilled fresh asparagus
(olive oil, salt, pepper, and some of the jerk).
I
thought it was very good but think I may prefer other seasonings on salmon, however, Bev
raved about it so I’m guessing it was beyond very good for her - even Madison ate a piece for supper and a half piece later in the evening. While this is officially a jerk seasoning, it
is obviously good on many dishes and will be used around here often - since we've always used a marinade for our jerk seasoning, this bottle of dry jerk seasoning has been in the pantry, unopened for a year.

Larry, Great looking dinner!! Grilled salmon with fresh asparagus is hard to beat. I wouldn't even use Tabasco with this meal... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI haven't really tried many jerk seasonings - I need to! The salmon looks amazing. I bet the layer of mayo kept the fish moist and tender.
ReplyDeleteYum---looks very healthy and delicious. I love grilled salmon (and tilapia) --so I'd enjoy that dish... Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

You're getting Madison to eat something other than fussy kid food! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteNice looking grilled salmon. I think the jerk seasoning gives it a nice kick.

That jerk seasoning sounds SO good!
ReplyDeleteYour salmon sounds good...I like it with a spicy seasoning.
ReplyDeletenow that little bottle is getting a workout - like the looks of your grilling... I don't think I would have thought to use jerk on salmon, but come to think of it, I bet the peppery bite along with the cool backside flavor of allspice makes for one fine rub for it... have a great weekend Larry
ReplyDeleteWell, I learned something about grilling Salmon. To peel the skin and season the other side. I've been wanting to switch out the mayo thing with Greek Yogurt. I'll probably try that this week.
ReplyDeleteI never knew you were such a Jerk ... fan! Seriously looks great. I need to try the mayo treatment - yum!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to put jerk seasoning on salmon. It's always tricky when you have a 50/50 split on whether or not something works well for dinner, right?
ReplyDeleteJerk is one of my favorite seasonings but I have not ever thought of doing it on salmon like that. I wonder how a jerk marinade would do.
