Salmon Pecan Cherry Smoked Salmon With A Spicy Chipotle Food

CHERRY CHIPOTLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, whisk together tart cherry juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, honey, and dark brown sugar. Bring to a boil then keep on a low simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half and has slightly thickened. It'll get thicker as it cools. It will be a liquid/loose glaze.
• Cook salmon however you like and to your desired doneness: in a skillet, in the oven, grill, etc.
• Brush a generous amount of glaze on the salmon prior to serving and use additional glaze, as desired.

SPICY HONEY-CHIPOTLE SALMON BOWL

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Add rinsed brown rice and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. When finished, remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• When the rice has about 30 minutes left, combine green beans, sweet potato, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, separating green beans on one side and sweet potatoes on the other.
• Combine honey, chipotle pepper, and garlic in a bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush mixture onto frozen salmon and place on top of the green beans, skin-side down (this step is important.)
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Divide rice between 2 bowls. Top each bowl with vegetables and a salmon fillet. Sprinkle toasted pecans over top.

SMOKY AND SPICY ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, pepper and garlic powder; mix well with a fork.
• Sprinkle the spice rub over the fillets, then turn them, pressing gently, to coat all sides with the rub. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.
• Roast the salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until it flakes easily and is just cooked in the center. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.

SALMON PECAN & CHERRY SMOKED SALMON WITH A SPICY CHIPOTLE

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the Salmon filets. Coarsely chop 2 cloves garlic. Cut one slice off a red onion. Pull about 1 cup (hand full) of Cilantro. Slice 3 limes in half.
• Open 2 cans of Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce and dump them into a blender. Add in 1/2 the garlic, the slice of onion, the Cilantro and 2 tbsp of honey. Thoroughly squeeze in 3 limes. Puree all this in your blender but don't run it more then 15 seconds. This will be a basting sauce.
• Foil a cooking rack and spray it with PAM or another vegetable oil nonstick spray. Lay the salmon skin side down on the foil. Shake on a light coating of BBQ Rub. Be careful not to use too much as it may add too much salt to the fish. Next lightly sprinkle on some coarse ground black pepper. Last but not least rub on the Salmon 1/2 clove of chopped garlic.
• Place the Salmon in your cooker with no heat. Add wood chips to your Smoker and light it. If you have another type of Cold Smoke generator that will do. You want to cold smoke it for 1 hour 30 minutes.Be care of the chamber temperature If the ambient air temp is above 75 degrees you may want to do this in the evening when it cools. ON this cook the smoker remained between 69 and 70 degrees.
• After the Salmon has cold smoked then fire up the pit to cook the fish over heat. Bring it up to 225 degrees and cook the Salmon for about 1 1/2 hours. Half way through cut 2 slices of lime from the last remaining lime. Squeeze lime juice from the remaining lime onto the fish.
• What you want to do next is mop on a light coating of the pepper lime sauce and continue to cook @ 225 for 30 minutes.
• Salmon is done when it turns a lighter shade of pink and becomes firm but moist.
