I love the sweet hot bite of the honey chipotle chicken crispers at Chili’s and I was wondering how I could incorporate it into our menu, but healthier so I came up with this recipe for Honey Chipotle Glazed Salmon and I am sooo excited to share it with y’all for today’s Mouthwatering Monday.

• 1 large salmon fillet, cut in 1/2 or 2 (8 to 10 oz fillets)
• 1/4 C olive oil
• Juice from one medium size lime
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped
• 1 Tbsp adobo sauce
• 1/4 C honey

1. Whisk together olive oil, garlic, 1 chopped chipotle pepper and lime juice. Place salmon in a dish and coat with the olive oil mixture, marinate for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Remove the salmon from the mixture and cook it in a medium-high heat skillet, that has been lightly drizzled with olive oil.
3. While the salmon is cooking, mix the honey and adobo sauce and 1 chopped chipotle in a bowl and set aside.
4. Cook the salmon about 7 minutes on each side, until the salmon is opaque on the sides and flakes with a fork.
5. Remove the salmon to a plate and then drizzle with the honey chipotle mixture.

The salmon is moist, flaky, sweet and spicy and absolutely tonguegasmic!
