Salmon Rasta Pasta

As some of you may know, I am currently working on a Seafood Ebook. Originally, this recipe was going to be featured in it, but I decided that the Glam Kitchen Gang needed a new, lit pasta dish. What exactly makes this “Rasta”, well because this dish is made with Jamaican jerk seasoning , coconut milk , fresh veggies and thyme which infuses soooooo much flavor. I’ve seen this dish on so many restaurant and chef IG pages and I decided to take a stab at it. As usual, let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments! Enjoy !
