Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 servings cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and ground allspice.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, chopped scotch bonnet pepper, and green onions. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and lime juice, and let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and butter, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the Jamaican Salmon in Wine Sauce over cooked rice or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
