- 30 min
- Serves 4
- Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets, 5 to 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons salt-free Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into small cubes
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Lime wedges, for serving
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon dry. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with the jerk seasoning, brown sugar, lime zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub the mixture over the top and sides of the salmon.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
- While the salmon cooks, combine the cabbage, carrot, pineapple, scallions, and cilantro in a large bowl.
- Whisk the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss it with the slaw just before serving.
- Divide the slaw among four plates, add the salmon, and serve with lime wedges.
