Jamaican Jerk Salmon
Classic Jamaican jerk spices bring new and exciting flavors to this salmon dish. Jamaican jerk seasoning often uses brown sugar to add sweet flavor to offset the spicy kick that it gives. To make this paleo, we omitted the sugar and just let the spices enhance this meal on their own.

LOVE LOVE this…Just enough kick and full of flavor! I did not want to take from the awesome flavor, so I served with the Cauliflower Salad with vegetables and mashed sweet potatoes.
This was the perfect meal and to top it off with Infamaous bacon cookies! YUM!!
Thank you, Bill and Haley for all you do for the Paleo community.
I substituted lemon juice for lime and fixed it on the stove top instead of the grill. It was amazing!! I am making this one as a favorite for sure! We had it with roasted asparagus and potatoes. Thank you!
Delicious! My new favorite salmon recipe!
