Jerk Fish

Published on 8 February 2025 at 18:01

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Add Rice and Beans
  • kidney beans
  • long grain rice
  • ground pimento
  • onions
  • thyme & scotch bonnet pepper
  • Sea salt & ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Spread the jerk seasoning in a small tray that is just large enough to fit one fish fillet.
  • Coat fish – Pat fish dry with a paper towel. Then coat both sides of each fillet with the jerk seasoning, pressing to adhere. Shake off excess, place on a clean plate and coat remaining fish.
  • Cook fish – Heat half the oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. When you see small wisps of smoke, place 2 fillets presentation side down and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Flip – the spice crust should be a deep bronze colour with a reddish tinge. Cook the other side for 1 minute until the target internal temperature is 130°F, or the fish flakes easily at the thickest point.
  • Rest on a rack for 2 minutes (to preserve crispy spice crust)
  • Add some rice and peas to complete

A dry Riesling goes so well
