SHEET-PAN JERK SALMON
Broiling is one of the quickest ways to cook salmon, and retain its moisture. It heats the outside while keeping the inside tender. When making this jerk salmon, your house may smell like a charcoal grill in the Caribbean. Don't worry if the fish darkens considerably as it cooks; that's when you know it's almost done. Finish it off with a mango slaw or classic carrot salad to make your dinner look as vivid as it tastes.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and set the broiler to high. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Place salmon on a cutting board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife, cut through the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through to the flesh.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, jerk seasoning, paprika and salt, if using. (The jerk seasoning has plenty of salt, so taste before adding salt.) Place salmon portions in the mixture and coat evenly, ensuring the mixture gets into the scored flesh.
- Place on the sheet pan, skin-side up, and broil until the skin is crispy and flesh is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. The exterior will darken considerably, but don't be alarmed. The high heat will help keep the inside moist. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with mango slaw or carrot salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh salmon fillets. This will ensure that your salmon is flaky and moist.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with Cajun seasoning. This will give the salmon a delicious, spicy flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and flavor to your sheet pan dinner.
- Toss the vegetables in olive oil and salt before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the salmon and vegetables at a high temperature. This will help to cook the salmon quickly and evenly.
- Serve the salmon and vegetables immediately. This will ensure that they are at their best.
Conclusion:
Sheet pan Cajun salmon is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that is packed with flavor. It is also a healthy and affordable meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dinner, give sheet pan Cajun salmon a try.
