Easy Chipotle Salmon Food

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!

CHIPOTLE COCOA-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• 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.

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.

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.
