Recipe Notes

  • Make-Ahead Instructions: The salmon can be marinated in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Wine Recommendation: The elegant fruit in a Riesling can highlight the equally refined hint of fruit in the Scotch bonnet sauce here. But the sauce isn’t just fruity, it’s spicy. A bottling from the Rheingau area of Germany, like the 2003 Schloss Vollrads Kabinett, offers a bit of sweetness to cool the heat.
