Chipotle Salmon

Chipotle salmon is a healthy and easy salmon recipe with big, bold flavor. Chipotle chiles and warm spices from cinnamon, allspice, and cumin give this chipotle salmon recipe extra health benefits.

There are so many great recipes in this book! I already have many bookmarked…Black Bean Burgers, Drunken Beans, Green Chile Meatballs, Stuffed Poblano Peppers…are you hungry yet? There are also plenty of enchiladas, fajitas and tacos to choose from. Gloria put together a wonderful collection of recipes for her book, from beverages all the way to breakfast.

Last week I came home from the grocery store with some nice salmon and wanted to try something new with it. I had seen a recipe for this Chipotle Salmon in Gloria’s book and decided it was exactly what I wanted to cook. I love chipotle seasoning, and recently opened up a can of chipotle peppers for Fish Tacos so I had plenty leftover to use up. I served the salmon with whole wheat couscous with sauteed pinto beans, red bell pepper and red onion. I also garnished the salmon with some culantro from my herb garden.

We really love the Chipotle salmon dinner and will definitely be making it again.

It has just the right amount of smoky spice to it, and the lime juice really freshened up all the flavors. Thanks for a great recipe Gloria and I wish you a ton of success with your new cookbook!!
