 What You Need

  • 4 salmon fillets | Skinless
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons Just Savor by Chef Huda Jammin Jerk, 1/2-1 tablespoon for sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or oil of choice
  • 1 cup onion | sliced or small diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper (any color) | sliced or small diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach | chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic | minced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved) or fire-roasted tomatoes | Petite or small diced | drained
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and pepper | to taste
  • Fresh parsley | optional garnish
  • Fresh limes | optional garnish

What To Do

  1. Gently rub the jerk seasoning evenly over the salmon fillets, coating them well on both sides.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets and sear for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Add the onions and bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Then add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, and spinach, and stir. Cook for about 2 minutes.

  5. Add in the heavy cream and jerk seasoning, and stir well. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and let the sauce reduce and thicken.

Chef Tip: The sauce should be thick enough to cover the back of a spoon.

  1. Carefully taste, then add salt or black pepper, if needed.

  2. Gently place the seared salmon fillets into the skillet, nestled into the sauce.

  3. Serve while hot over rice or pasta and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
