Ingredients
Chipotle Maple Salmon
- 1 chipotle chile finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 4 4 ounce skin-on wild caught salmon fillets
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the salmon in a shallow dish. Whisk to combine. Reserve a small amount of the marinade to brush on during grilling, then place the salmon fillets flesh side down in the marinade. Let them marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill grates. Place the salmon flesh side down on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness, then flip over and brush with any reserved marinade. Cook another 3-5 minutes. If using a meat thermometer, remove from the grill when the internal temperature reads 130° F. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with the cilantro lime rice, grilled zucchini or a side dish of choice.
