How to Cook Ackee & Saltfish (Jamaica’s National Dish)

Ackee & Saltfish is the most iconic Caribbean breakfast dish — and it’s surprisingly easy to make at home in Australia. Sauté diced onion, tomato, capsicum, and Scotch bonnet in oil. Add flaked saltfish (desalted cod), then fold in the drained ackee gently. Season with black pepper and fresh thyme. Serve with fried dumplings, boiled green banana, or toast.
