Bold ethnic flavours are trending in 2015! Customers want to see original, well executed, high quality items. I think this is the reason why food trucks are doing so well. They are consistently in line with trends and customer expectations. Here is a concept that you might expect from a food truck-Pulled BBQ Jerk Salmon Sandwich! It’s a nice balance of heat, sweetness and spice. Check out the mise en place:

Marinate your Salmon portions in jerk marinade. You could use a pre-made foodservice jerk marinade or make your own in-house. Here is my jerk marinade recipe  which you can customize to your liking. Let the Salmon sit in the marinade for a minimum of 4 hours.

Grill each portion, and try to achieve real deep grill marks. This will add to the charred flavour, which is what you would expect from an authentic jerk dish. Cook your salmon to medium/medium-well.

Once the Salmon is cooled pull it apart. I like mine a bit on the chunky side. Fold in some BBQ sauce and then place into portion bags.

To order you have two options. The quickest is to microwave each portion bag. Alternatively you could empty the bag into a pan and heat in the oven. Use a nice crispy bun, and balance the heat of the jerk with some avocado and pineapple/mango salsa. You could drizzle some cucumber yogurt to balance the heat as well. Some crispy/frizzled onions would make a welcome addition!  

Now what if High Liner did all the work for you, so all you needed to do was place the package in the microwave or oven. Hmmmm!

Stay hungry my friends!
