Grilled Salmon with Sweet Potato and Onion instructions

1. Marinate salmon up to 4 hours but no less than one hour in the jerk marinade..
2. Start your charcoal or fire up your gas grill. I add wood chips also. I add the vegetables in right when the coals are good and hot, and I put them direct on the coals or as close as you can get to the heat. At this point I pull the salmon out of the fridge and oil up my fish basket. After the veggies cook for about 15 minutes I add the salmon to the grill skin side down. Turn the veggies every so often and cook for approx ten minutes..
3. Pull the food off grill and plate and eat. Its that easy. I add a little BBQ sauce to my salmon but you do it however u feel like..

Season salmon filets with sea salt and ground pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet (a cast-iron works great) over medium-high heat. Turn the salmon over and brush with the barbecue sauce. Mound onion rings over the salmon and garnish with the parsley. Scrub the sweet potato, then slice into thin rounds.
