This Grilled Honey-Chipotle Salmon is a flavor-packed, easy-to-make dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights. The salmon fillets are coated in a sweet and smoky glaze made with honey, chipotle peppers, and warm spices, then grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
– 4 (6-oz) salmon fillets
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tbsp adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo
– 1 tbsp lime juice
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tsp cumin
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
1. 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. 2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets all over with the honey-chipotle glaze.
3. 3. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired doneness.
4. 4. Serve the grilled salmon immediately, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the pan.
