Caribbean Inspired

This fish recipe uses Caribbean jerk seasoning to bring out the flavors of the ingredients and give us a taste of island life. I wish I was planning a Caribbean vacation, but this is clearly not going to be a great travel year!

But since we are staying home all the more reason to enjoy flavors from around the world. Caribbean jerk seasoning is full of delicious spices like cumin, nutmeg and allspice with just a hint of heat.

Caribbean jerk seasoning is easy to find at the grocery store and a great way to add excitement and interest to a simple fish or chicken dinner. This recipe uses very basic ingredients and cooks them in a simple way, but the resulting dish is bursting with flavor!

Other Ingredients

In addition to the jerk seasoning this recipe includes:

ingredients - cod, corn, bell peppers, oil, lime juice, Caribbean jerk seasoning
  • Fish – I usually use cod for this recipe because is a mild white fish that is easy for me to find. Some other great choices are sea bass or haddock. You want fish that is about 1 inch thick, so a thin fish like tilapia wouldn’t work as well.
  • Bell peppers – any color will work, but I like to use orange and red peppers because they are sweeter.
  • Corn on the cob
  • Green onions
  • Lime juice and oil

Sheet Pan

You need to pick a relatively large sheet pan to hold all the fish and vegetables as they cook. A 17 inch sett pan is a good size for this recipe.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

While the oven is preheating to 500 F peel the husks off the corn and cut the ears of corn into thirds. Dice the peppers into small pieces. Then slice the green onions and put the green tops and white parts into separate piles.

Combine all the oil, lime juice, Caribbean jerk seasoning and salt in a small bowl and stir it. This will be brushed onto all the other ingredients.

2. Roast the Peppers

The bell peppers take a little bit longer to cook than the other ingredients, so they need a head start. Put the peppers on the sheet pan or rimmed baking sheet and use a basting brush to coat them with a little of the lime juice/oil mixture.

Once the oven has finished preheating put the tray in the oven and let it cook for 5 minutes.

3. Add the Fish and Corn

While the peppers cook get the fish out and dry it off well. If you like you can cut it into serving pieces now or wait until after it is cooked.

Once the peppers have roasted for 5 minutes take the sheet pan out of the oven and push all the peppers to the side. Add the fish to the center of the pan and put the corn pieces all around the edges.

Then use a basting brush to add the oil and lime seasoning mixture onto the fish and the ears of corn. If there is any mixture left when you are done pour it around the tray.

Finally take the white parts of the scallions and scatter them all over the fish, corn and peppers. Save the green parts of the scallions for serving the fish.

4. Roast the Fish

Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook it until the fish is roasted through. This should take about 10 minutes and the fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

How to Serve

Like most fish dinners this is best served right away! Garnish the fish with the reserved green onion tops and add some wedges of lime for drizzling.

This is a nice light all in one dinner. If you want to make it a little heartier you can add a green salad or a loaf of bread to dinner.

The fish is flaky and full of flavor from the Caribbean jerk seasoning. The lime is a nice change from always serving lemon with fish too!

  • Place peppers on a sheet pan or rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the lime juice and oil mix and then put them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Notes

Use fish that is about 1 inch thick. If you use thinner fish you will need to reduce the cooking time.

  1. I’m from Iowa so I grew up on Iowa sweet corn. When it is the height of the season, there is nothing I would rather have! My first job was detasseling that corn – let’s just say I appreciate everything that our farmers do!
