Chipotle Glazed Alaska Salmon
with Spicy Peanut Salsa

Ingredients

4 Garlic Cloves
2 Guajillo or Ancho chiles, stemmed,
   seeded and torn into large pieces
2 cups Salted peanuts, skinless, roasted
5 canned Chipoltle chiles, removed from liquid
Salt (to taste)
1/2 cup Honey
8 5 to 6 oz. Hidden Bay Salmon Fillets (RFS Item 52782)
Fresh cilantro, chopped roughly, for garnish

Directions

For the Salsa: In dry skillet, roast garlic over medium heat, turning occasionally until soft and blackened in spots, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool; peel. In the same skillet, toast the chiles, using a spatula to press them against the heated surface until aromatic - you may see faint whisps of smoke. Cover with hot water and rehydrate for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender with the garlic, peanuts, and 3 of the canned chipotles. Pour in water to the level of peanuts and blend to a smooth puree. If necessary, stir in more water to give the mixture the consistency of an easily spoonable salsa. Season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon.

For the Salmon: Heat a broiler. In a food processor combine the remaining 2 chipotle chiles with the honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree. Lay the fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet and position 4 inches below broiler. Broil 2 minutes, flip the pieces of fish and return to broiler for 2 more minutes. Brush heavily with the glaze, return under the broiler and cook until as done as you like, usually 2 more minutes for medium to medium-rare salmon. Serve with the peanut salsa and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
