Salmón al chipotle con miel y ajo

Ingredientes

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

Preparación

1. 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. 2

   Place the salmon fillets in a 9x9 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.)

3. 3

   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. Serve with steamed or roasted veggies, a baked potato, rice, or anything else you like!
