MOOD MUSIC
“I’ll Play The Blues For You” by Albert King is one of the greatest blues songs ever made. It’s classic Albert Collins, but backed by musicians from funk band The Bar Kays. That funk touch, especially the bass and horns are a perfect touch and compliment Albert’s sound so well. Similar to quality fresh salmon, which is great on it’s on, but the jerk based glaze makes the salmon funky in a great way.

Jerk Salmon Cooking Considerations and Tips
Buy the freshest fish you can afford. Quality matters and is key to making this dish gourmet level.
Honey or even brown sugar is a fine substitute to maple syrup. The key is you want a good sweetener to get great caramelization from the glazing.
This recipe also works with trout, particularly steelhead.
If you don’t want to make your own marinade, use a quality store-bought paste like a Walkerswood or Grace branded one.
Cast iron is perfect for this, but if you don’t have one, make sure your pan is oven-proof.
