Jamaican Jerk Fish Tacos with Scotch Bonnet Pineapple Salsa

 

Last month I had the chance to check off a bucket list location when I visited Jamaica. I'm hoping to find time to share more about that trip in the near future, but I have to share about the food we ate there, especially the jerk chicken. I still dream about the jerk chicken we had there and crave it constantly. In order to fulfill these cravings, I've learned how to make jerk seasoning and have been making an air-fried version of jerk chicken. Absolutely delicious!

So when Gorton's Seafood reached out and asked me to create a recipe using their frozen fish, I already knew where my inspiration would come from. And let me tell you, this recipe is a new favorite of mine and I've made it twice since I first created it a few days ago!

The recipe is also so simple and quick. I hope you give it a try!
