Chipotle Rubbed Salmon Food

CHIPOTLE-RUBBED SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F In a small bowl, whisk the mayo with the lime juice. In another small bowl, combine the chipotle powder with the orange zest and sugar. Rub each salmon piece with 1 t. olive oil and then the chipotle-orange zest mixture. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Wrap the tortillas in foil and bake for about 8 minutes, until they are soft and heated through.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill pan. Season the salmon with salt and grill over high heat, until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Gently break each salmon piece in half. Spread the mashed avocado on the warm tortillas, top with the salmon, and the cabbage. Drizzle each taco with the lime-mayo and serve right away.

CHIPOTLE SALMON TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Whisk together the chipotle powder, cumin, orange zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss with the salmon and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges with a sharp knife. Place cut-side down, then cut off the peel and white pith. One at a time, hold each orange over a bowl and cut along the membranes to remove the segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Chop the orange slices into small pieces, then return to the bowl. Add the avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice and a pinch of salt; toss well.
• Lightly oil the grill and add the corn. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 12 to 15 minutes. After a few minutes, add the salmon to the grill and cook until well marked and charred at the edges, about 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Grill the tortillas until marked and warmed, 20 to 30 seconds per side.
• Cut the corn kernels off the cob and toss with the avocado-orange salsa. Divide the tortillas among plates and top with the salmon, salsa and more cilantro. Serve with the lime wedges.

CHIPOTLE COCOA-RUBBED SALMON

• Preheat the broiler to low. Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the House Seasoning, chile powder and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each filet with olive oil and then rub the spice mixture over the top and sides.
• Broil until the salmon is not quite cooked through and feels firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

• Combine butter and cornstarch and add to the sauce to thicken, add scallions, and serve over salmon and rice.

CHILI-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• Cut ancho chilies in half lengthwise; seed and stem. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat; add chilies and stir until chilies look dry and darken slightly in color, turning occasionally, about 2 1/2 minutes. Cool completely. Break chilies into 1/2-inch pieces. Grind coarsely in spice mill or coffee mill. Add oregano and grind to blend. Transfer to small bowl. Mix in salt and sugar. Stir in garlic, chipotle chilies, and lime juice. Whisk in oil. Add enough water to thin to spreadable consistency (about 1 tablespoon). (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread 2 generous teaspoons chili mixture over each salmon fillet. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until salmon is opaque in center, about 10 minutes.
• *Dried ancho chilies are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
• **Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
