Ingredients
•
4 (3 ounce) fillets salmon fillets, or more to taste
•
ice cold water to cover
•
1 pinch salt
•
4 drops lemon juice
•
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
2 tablespoons jerk marinade, or more to taste
•
3 bunches scallions, chopped
•
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
•
5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
•
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
1
Place salmon in a large bowl with ice-cold water and 1 pinch salt. Let soak, about 10 minutes. Run a knife along the skin to remove all scales.
2
Rinse salmon in ice-cold water and lemon juice. Pat dry with a paper towel.
3
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4
Combine garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle lightly over both sides of each salmon fillet. Rub jerk marinade over both sides of salmon.
5
Place salmon fillets in a large bowl. Add scallions, onion, cilantro, and ginger; mix well to combine.
6
Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon fillets skin-side down, in batches if necessary, until skin is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until flesh is pale pink, 1 to 2 minutes more. Place skillet in the oven.
7
Bake salmon in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and allow salmon to rest before serving, 3 to 5 minutes.
