Chipotle Honey Glazed Salmon Recipe

Did someone say salmon fillets seasoned with just the right amount of spice and glazed over with honey and a touch of orange, hot off the grill, topped with pistachio butter that melts down over the fillets? Chipotle and honey combine to make a chipotle honey glaze with the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Oh yeah, now that’s what I’m talking about. Our grilled salmon recipe is nothing short of mouth-watering deliciousness!

Add to that the health benefits of salmon. Did you know that salmon promotes:

  • anti-inflammatory joint health
  • cognitive function
  • cancer prevention
  • cardiovascular health
  • eye, skin and hair wellness

I’d say you’ve got a dinner that’s packed with powerful health benefits when you grill up our honey chipotle salmon recipe. Oh wait, and that’s just from the salmon! 

Did I mention that with pistachios you’re adding in:

  • potassium
  • vitamin B6
  • the cancer-fighting Vitamin E

Talk about dinner that’s abundant with vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting acids and fabulously delicious too! There you go! An easy honey chipotle salmon recipe that’s amazingly delicious!

On a personal salmon side note, I have fond memories of my trip to Alaska where I got to go on an actual salmon fishing boat with a real Alaskan salmon fisherman and catch my very own salmon! I named her Sally.

Sally was filleted, flash frozen and shipped back to New Jersey for me to enjoy with my family when I returned home. Such a treat! Talk about fresh out of the water! Be sure to buy wild salmon, not farm raised, so that you get all those amazing health benefits!

Ingredients you will need to make this recipe

  • butter
  • pistachios
  • orange zest
  • honey
  • orange juice
  • salmon fillets
  • kosher salt
  • chipotle chile pepper
  • garlic powder
  • scallion
