We enjoyed this (almost too easy to post) recipe. We used tilapia but I think other white fish would work equally well just adjusting the cooking time per thickness of fish. Recipe source: local newspaper.

Tips:

For authentic Jamaican jerk flavor, use a pre-made jerk seasoning blend or create your own using a combination of allspice, thyme, pimento seeds, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, onion, and Scotch bonnet peppers.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake the tilapia in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve the jerk tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice and peas, coleslaw, or fried plantains.
For a healthier version of jerk tilapia, use skinless tilapia fillets and bake or grill them without adding any oil.
You can also make a jerk tilapia marinade by combining jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and honey. Marinate the tilapia fillets for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
