Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
2 -3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo
1 1/2 lbs salmon
heavy duty aluminum foil
nonstick cooking spray, kosher
salt and pepper
1 lime (to garnish)

Steps:

Remove salmon from the refrigerator 15 minute before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F
Stir honey and chipotle puree in a small bowl until well combined.
Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-in. longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray.
Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-in.) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-in. margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 5 minute Spread the glaze on the salmon (1 tablespoons per salmon portion or 1/3 Celsius per salmon side).
Close grill and continue to cook about 5 to 7 minute more. Cook just until fish is lightly translucent in the center. It will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with lime zest and serve with lime wedges.
Alternate Cooking Method: Salmon can also be roasted in an oven preheated to 375°F or pan-seared and finished in the oven. Cook just until lightly translucent in the center; be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

HONEY CHIPOTLE SALMON

Honey Chipotle Salmon image

Just the right portion size; Salmon is high in protein and fiber. Salmon's reputation as a healthy food is largely based on its unusual omega-3 fatty acid content. It is normal for 4 ounces of salmon to contain at least 2 grams of omega-3 fats - more than the average U.S. adult gets from all food over the course of several days....

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets ( 4 -5 ounces each skinless)
MAKING HONEY CHIPOTLE RUB
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt ( or any course salt)
4 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
garlish - fresh scallions and lemon slices

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 450° F - line large baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up), then spray non-stick cooking spray on lined baking sheet. If you have a roasting rack, then place the rack on top of foil lined pan.
2. In medium size bowl combine honey, olive oil, sea salt, chipotle chili powder, garlic and onion powder, paprika and Italian season.
3. Place the salmon on a plate and spoon the mixture over fillets, spreading it to coat each piece of salmon evenly. Then place each fillet on baking sheet about an inch apart from each other.
4. Bake salmon for about 15 - 20 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh scallions and serve with lemon slices.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh salmon fillets. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
To evenly cook the salmon, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, slice the fillets into even pieces.
When baking the salmon, place the fillets on a greased baking sheet or in a baking dish. This will help prevent them from sticking.
To ensure that the salmon is cooked through, bake it at the recommended temperature for the specified amount of time. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
For a crispy crust, broil the salmon for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time.
Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
