Caribbean Slaw Recipe

This Caribbean slaw recipe uses a Kale Beet salad blend from Mann’s.  You can keep it as simple as the blend or add some of your own favorite ingredients like jalapeno, radishes or jicama. In this recipe, I kept it simple. When you are out boating, you don’t typically have the space nor the time to prep a lot of meals in the galley. That’s why I love these pre-made salad blends when we stay on the boat.

Scott and I love the Caribbean Islands and we plan on retiring there some day. We fell in love with the culture during our honeymoon to Antigua in 2003. Since I love to cook and entertain, Caribbean cuisine is at the top of my list (along with Italian food).

Food Pairings

This slaw recipe goes with almost anything “Caribbean”. It would go great with jerk pork chops, grilled salmon and Caribbean pork roast. Because the slaw has honey in it, it tones down spicy dishes that you pair with it.  It’s also very flavorful and refreshing on a hot summer day! Enjoy.

Grilled Marinated Salmon

Grilled Marinated Salmon Recipe

While we live in the PNW, it can be difficult to get fresh salmon. One of my favorite places to buy fresh fish is from a seafood store in Ballard at Fisherman’s Terminal , Wild Salmon Seafood Market. They truly have some of the best fish I have ever had. When Scott and I moved to Renton, we would make it a point to go into the city each month just to get fresh fish.

Why marinate salmon here in the PNW?

Well, when we can’t buy super fresh salmon, then I tend to marinate it. Scott is not a big fan of salmon, so marinating it makes it better for him. This recipe is easy to make and goes with so many different cuisines, ranging from Asian to American. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients except salmon. Rinse salmon and pat dry. (see note below). Place salmon in Ziplock bag and pour in marinade. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. Pre-heat grill. We use a lava stone and we allow 15 minutes for the stone to heat up. Grill salmon flesh side down first for 5 minutes. Flip over and grill for an additional 5 minutes or until desired wellness. Serve immediately and garnish with lemon wedges.
Recipe Notes

If you are cooking on your boat and are not sure about your potable water, be sure to only rinse with bottled water or rinse at home ahead of time.
