{Today, please welcome Ciarra Hannah to Delicious Obsessions! Ciarra is the founder of the Popular Paleo website and the upcoming Frugal Paleo Cookbook (which I cannot wait to get!). She took a few minutes out of her day to stop by and share this delectable recipe for Grilled Salmon with Chipotle Butter. I love salmon and this recipe sounds divine! ~Jessica}
Summer time in the Pacific Northwest where I live means lots of salmon will be hitting the grill.
This recipe cooks up quick and is loaded with healthy fats and inflammation fighting Omega-3s.
Finish the dish with a few slices of avocado, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over the whole plate.
Enjoy!
- For the salmon:
- 2 - 6 to 8 oz wild caught salmon filets (skin on)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- pinch chipotle chili powder
- pinch ground coriander
- For the Chipotle Butter:
- 2 tbsp organic, grass-fed butter (room temperature)
- pinch sea salt
- 2 tsp canned chipotle in adobo, finely chopped
- Optional: fresh cilantro and lime juice
- Preheat the grill to about 400°F to 450°F and season the salmon fillets with the salt, chipotle chili powder and ground coriander.
- When the grill is hot, lay the seasoned salmon flesh side down and grill for 4 to 6 minutes.
- Turn the salmon once, grilling the skin-side down for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness.
- While the salmon is grilling, combine the room temperature butter with a pinch of sea salt and the finely chopped chipotles in adobo. Use a spoon to mix until the chipotles are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Set this aside at room temperature until the salmon is ready.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and add a dollop of chipotle butter on top. As the butter melts, spicy chipotle will run throughout the salmon, offering a silky kick to each bite.
- Finish the salmon with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. It's the perfect touch to round off a simple and savory grilled salmon dish.
