Salmon marinated in smoky chipotle and tart citrus is quickly broiled for an easy weeknight dinner. With the abundance of fish at my fingertips after Sean’s trip to Alaska, I found myself constantly looking for new ideas and recipes to try.
I made this recipe for the first time almost three years ago when I stumbled across it on Aggie’s Kitchen and the salmon was even better than I expected.
With Sean planning another trip to Alaska in the next couple weeks, I’m dusting off all the seafood recipes here on the blog and planning a whole lot of new ones as well. I can hardly wait to fill the freezer with fresh salmon.
After barely an hour in the marinade, the salmon is incredibly flavorful. The chipotle flavor is present, without any real heat. The lime keeps it fresh and light. This is delicious with Chipotle Lime Rice and Chili Lime Corn on the Cob.

This is the second broiled salmon recipe that I've read today. Bookmarking them both! Broiled salmon is my favorite!

How interesting combined with allspice, cinnamon and cloves. Absolutely beautifully cooked too. Hope you had a nice weekend.

I LOVE the pairing of chipotle with salmon! there's something about the spice combined with teh buttery fish that is so amazing. Great dish!

Chipotle pepper sauce is extremely good on salmon, but I'd be tempted to toss in a pepper or two ratchet up the heat. 😉

This looks to die for Mary and I especially like the chipotle addition.

Bringing a mild smoky heat to salmon is a really good idea. This rocks.

I had salmon patties planned for tonight, and remembered this post, and felt inspired to mix several of your ingredients with the breadcrumbs and egg from the can of salmon's recipe, and it was AWESOME. Chipotle lime salmon patties were a BIG hit, and so cheap!

I just served this last night at a small dinner party & everyone raved over it & requested the recipe! It's really good. I served it with the cilantro lime rice (another recipe of yours) and a salad.
