Chipotle Lime Salmon

The smokey chipotle lime flavour combo is another one of my favourites and it goes so well
on melt in your mouth buttery salmon. This salmon could not be easier, you simply mix the chipotle chilies in adobo with lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and bake and broil or grill the salmon until just cooked. This chipotle lime salmon makes for a perfect main course with some sides and it's also great as a filling for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, etc.
