Chipotle Lime Salmon

The glaze for these salmon fillets is a simple mixture of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, cumin, and garlic. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce come in small cans. You can find them in with the Mexican foods at the grocery stores,  usually right next to the canned green chilies. They have such a great smoky flavor and a plenty of heat. If you need recipe ideas for using the rest of the can try Crock Pot Chipotle Pulled Chicken or Chipotle Lime Grilled Flank Steak.

The kick of citrus from lime juice in the glaze makes this a great dish for spring and summer.

Tips For Making Chipotle Lime Salmon

• Cooking time can vary based on how hot your broiler gets and the thickness and size of the salmon fillets. Use the cooking time as an estimate only.
• To check and see if salmon is done, pierce the thickest portion with a knife or fork. The salmon will start to flake easily when done and it will change in color from translucent and red to pink and opaque.
