Easy Chipotle Salmon Recipes

EASY CHIPOTLE SALMON

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degree F.
• Place garlic, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce in food processor. Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lime, add salt, pepper, cumin, and oil. Blend for about 1 minute or until the garlic is minced.
• Slice salmon into even portions (2 or 3). Lay them onto a lined baking dish with the skin-side-down. Rub the chipotle mixture onto the salmon; top, sides and skin side.
• Bake for 12-15 min or until just cooked through and flaky. Be careful not to over-cook or it will be dry. Serve with veggies, rice, tortillas, or in tacos. Enjoy!

EASY HONEY CHIPOTLE SALMON

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk everything together (except for the salmon of course). Place the salmon in a tupperware, baking dish, or zipped-top bag. Pour half of the marinade on top. Give everything a nice shake. Reserve the rest for step 4. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• Meanwhile, fire up the grill to medium-high heat or preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
• You can grill the salmon on foil or on a cedar plank. Grill the salmon skin side down for 15 minutes- about 10 minutes per 1-inch inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat.
• Or bake the salmon on a lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness and until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat.
• Brush the warm salmon with remaining marinade before serving. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.

CHIPOTLE SALMON WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180℃ (350℉).
• Bring a saucepan of water to boil with 1 Tbsp of salt.
• Scrub the potatoes clean, cut in half the bigger ones, and add to the boiling water. Once the water is boiling again, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your baby potatoes. To check for doneness, a knife should glide right through. But you don't want to over cook them and have them mushy. When done, drain and set aside.
• Peel and quarter the onion.
• Slice the capsicum up into thick strips. In the image here, I'm using snack size peppers, so I just halved them.
• Scrub the carrot and cut into long, thick fingers, or into rounds, whatever you fancy. They are only going to be cooked for 25-30 minutes. So the thinner/smaller they are, the softer they will be.
• Rinse the tomatoes and set aside.
• Get a baking dish measuring about 30cm x 20cm (roughly 12" x 8") and place the drained potatoes, onions, capsicum, carrots and tomatoes in it. Strip the rosemary leaves and drop them in too.
• Top with 2 Tbsp of chipotle paste and rub it all over the vegetables. You might want to use gloves as I do, as I can't stand chilli tingle on my hands.
• Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Gently rub the remaining tablespoon of chipotle paste all over them, top and bottom, and lay the fillets in the baking dish, snugly amongst the vegetables. You could let them sit on the vegetables too, if you like.
• Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, depending on how big your salmon fillets are, and how well done you like them.
• When done, squeeze the lime juice all over, top with some freshly ground black pepper if you want, and serve immediately.

CHIPOTLE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Rub the chipotle mixture on top of the salmon and bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE GRILLED SALMON- SO EASY--

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high (450 degrees). Meanwhile allow salmon to come to room temperature
• Place salmon skin side down on a foil covered baking sheet. (For extra ease you can also place fish on a grilling mesh or cooling rack sprayed with cooking spray and then put the rack directly on the grill when ready to cook. Use the foil covered baking sheet to carry the fish to and from grill).
• Brush olive oil on both sides of fish and grind fresh black pepper over the fleshy side. Place fish back on pan skin side down.
• When grill is preheated place the mesh or rack or just the fish on the grill. CLOSE the lid and grill for 5-10 minutes depending on how done you want your salmon- we like it on the rare side.
• Open grill and brush with the marinade and grill 3 more minutes with the grill open.
• Remove and devour!
• Grill.
