Jamaican Jerk Grilled Salmon With Island Salsa

no woman no spice

This recipe screams summer and we love a good summer recipe especially one that’s fresh and healthy! This salmon is true perfection. Our No Woman No Spice Jamaican Jerk spice blend is absolutely hands down a star in this one. It imparts the key island flavors we love: allspice, cinnamon, garlic, habanero (scotch bonnet) and much more blended just right to give that authentic flavor.

Salmon Salad with Summer Vegetables and Za'atar Dressing

while my zaatar gently weeps while my zaatar gently weeps refill

The za'atar strikes back in this amazing grilled salmon salad with fresh farmers market vegetables! I taught this fantastic recipe in our Healthy On You® online cooking class today and we had so much fun cooking together. I am still in awe of everyone cooking away in their own kitchens. It’s hard enough cooking sometimes, but having to keep up with me, well, that can be challenging. You have to do some prep work ahead of time but it is soooo worth it!
