CARIBBEAN-STYLE FRIED SALMON FRITTERS

• Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting. Scoop up 1 tablespoon batter per fritter; drop carefully into the hot oil in batches of 3. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.

CARIBBEAN SALMON WITH GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE AND MANGO VEGGIE SALSA

Steps:

• For the barbecue sauce:
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cooking until it's soft and a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder. Simmer until the guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Discard the star anise; transfer the mixture to your blender and puree. With the motor running add the lime juice and rum. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
• For the salsa:
• Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the mangoes, peppers, red onions, chile, and cilantro and toss to coat. Add the beans and gently toss everything together.
• For the salmon:
• Heat your broiler to high. Line a large flameproof baking dish or rimmed flameproof baking sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil and grease the foil with some olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish and tuck about 2-inches of the tail end under the fish, so you have a somewhat uniform shape. Pour the barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook it under the broiler until the sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges and the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes for rare (the salmon will still be pink in the middle) or 12 to 15 minutes for well done (the salmon will be cooked throughout).
• Spread the salsa on the serving platter and carefully lift the salmon out of the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa (use 2 large spatulas to transfer it). Squeeze a few lime wedges over the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.

GRILLED CARIBBEAN SALMON PACKS

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil; spray each piece with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix rice and broth; let stand about 7 minutes or until broth is almost absorbed. Stir in bell pepper and onions. Place 3/4 cup rice mixture on center of each sprayed foil piece. Top rice with salmon. Sprinkle each salmon fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt; top with 2 tablespoons chutney and 1/4 cup pineapple chunks.
• Fold foil over salmon and rice mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
• Cover and grill packets over medium heat 12 to 18 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after about 6 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with fork. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil.

• Put the salmon fillet on the grill, skin side down. Spread the jerk sauce over the fillet and grill for approximately 15 minutes, depending on the heat. Flip the fillet, remove the skin, then spread it with jerk sauce. Let it grill for an additional 15 minutes. Flip the salmon 1 more time to seal in the flavors. Remove the salmon from the grill to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Mix together the garlic, lime zest, jerk seasoning, thyme, ginger, and oil. Smear over the salmon and leave to marinade for 30 minutes.
• Place the fish in a lightly oiled fish rack. Barbecue for 3 minutes or so on each side - aim for them to be charred on the outside, but still slightly pink in the centre. Alternatively, grill or griddle for around 5 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
• Chargrill the zested lime halves on the cut side until griddle lines appear - it should take 2-3 minutes.
