Ingredients

  • 1 lb. salmon fillet, skinless
  • 1.5 tbsp. honey
  • 1.5 tbsp. chipotle peppers, pureed or minced
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Alternatively preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  2. Stir together the honey, chipotle puree, and lime juice.
  3. Place the salmon on a heavy piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the salmon with the chipotle and honey glaze.
  4. Place on the grill and close. Cook for 8-10 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flaky. For oven cooking, cook for 8-10 minutes and broil for last minute for a caramelized top.
  5. Mango Salsa: I served my salmon with a quick mango salsa made with 1 mango, 1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup cilantro, red onion, lime juice, salt, pepper, and a touch of cumin.
