Tell Me About this Honey Chipotle Salmon
Texture: The salmon is moist, tender, and flaky. If you love salmon like this, try our bake lemon herb salmon too—another favorite! Flavor: With so few ingredients, it’s important to use each since they all serve a purpose. Honey? Flavor. Chili spice? More flavor. Garlic? Even more flavor. Butter? (Don’t leave this one out!) The salmon is marinated in half of the sauce mixture first, then brushed with more once it’s hot off the grill or fresh out of the oven. This really helps to lock in the sweet and spicy buttery flavor, while keeping the centers super moist and tender. Ease: Combine the marinade ingredients, pour the mixture into a bag with the salmon. Then grill or bake in the oven. It doesn’t get any easier than this. Time: 30 minutes from start of prep to table.

The full printable recipe is below, but let’s walk through it so you understand each step before you get started. For this simple and easy fish recipe, you can choose to grill the salmon on foil or on a cedar plank or bake it in the oven. If you want a side dish idea, we love this salmon with corn black bean & avocado salsa. Even though you can serve it as a dip, it makes a wonderful side dish salad. This zucchini casserole would be excellent as well!
