SALMON WITH MAPLE-CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Salmon With Maple-Chipotle Sauce image

Rachael Ray's recipe for Chipotle Cashew Chicken inspired me to create this dish. It's an interesting combination of flavors--sweet, smoky, spicy and nutty. I'm sure the marinade could be used on chicken or pork as well (of course keeping in mind varying cooking times of different meats). I oven-roasted my salmon, but it would also be excellent grilled.

Tips:

Choose fresh salmon fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have any off-odors.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Choose a good quality mustard, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers.
Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Let the salmon rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.
Serve with your favorite sides: Chipotle-sparked mustard salmon can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Chipotle-sparked mustard salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bold flavors and succulent texture, this salmon is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try!
