Garlic Honey Chipotle Salmon

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 chipotle pepper, minced (plus 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: salt AND pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
  • 1 ½ pounds salmon, (cut into 4-5 portions)

Instructions

    1. In a small bowl combine the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, honey, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and the knob of butter. Zap this in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or until the butter *almost melts*
    2. Place the salmon fillets in a 9×9 dish (with sides) and pour the prepared marinade over the salmon. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 20 minutes and ideally 2-10 hours (you can just cover it and place it in the refrigerator and allow it to marinate while you’re at work.)
  1. When ready to prepare, preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon filets at least an inch apart from each other. Bake in the oven for 8-11 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon, ours took exactly 9 minutes.
