Ingredients

1 lb salmon filets patted dry
2 Tablespoons wet jerk marinade
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 green onion sliced

Instructions

Coat the salmon filets evenly with the wet jerk marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Position the oven rack about six inches from the heating element and set your oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and cook for about 4–8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is almost cooked through and has a nice color on top.
While the salmon is broiling, whisk together the honey and lime juice in a small bowl until well combined. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the glaze generously over each fillet. Return the salmon to the broiler for another 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and top with sliced green onion. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Wet jerk marinade works best for this recipe. Feel free to use homemade or store-bought ones.
The amount of time needed to broil the salmon depends on its thickness. Start checking around the 3-minute mark.
