Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that perfectly blends sweet and spicy flavors for a delightful culinary experience. This Cherry Chipotle Glazed Salmon is ideal for those who love a bit of heat with a touch of sweetness.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
• frozen cherries (150g)
• chipotle pepper (1, minced)
• honey (2 tbsp)
• garlic clove (1, minced)
• soy sauce (1 tbsp)
• lime juice (1 tbsp)
• olive oil (1 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• blender
• small saucepan
• basting brush

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin side down, and season with salt and pepper.

In a blender, combine the frozen cherries, chipotle pepper, honey, garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the cherry chipotle mixture to the saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.

Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.

This Cherry Chipotle Glazed Salmon recipe serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 200g. With the combination of sweet cherries, spicy chipotle, and perfectly cooked salmon, each serving is approximately 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to save any leftover glaze and use it as a tasty topping for grilled chicken or veggies the next day. It’s a versatile sauce that adds a burst of flavor to any dish!
