Method

For the Jerk Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and honey to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from the marinade and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

For the White Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

For the Sautéed Spinach

  1. 6

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
