Chipotle Salmon with Buttermilk Yogurt Sauce

Chipotle Salmon with Buttermilk Yogurt Sauce!

Sound complicated?

Nope, not at all…just cook the salmon…whip up the easy sauce and Serve! 

Quick and easy and healthy for you too.

I like to spice up my salmon and experiment with flavors and sauces. 

The Captain likes his salmon grilled and I have found that by adding a little chipotle powder to the salmon fillets before cooking gives them a completely different taste.

Add a little chipotle powder to an ordinary sauce and it broadens the creamy with spicy.  

The chipotle powder gives a little kick and spice to the salmon and when combined with the buttermilk/ranch/yogurt sauce makes this entree a keeper.

Great combination of flavors.

Try this salmon recipe and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

1. Remove the skin on the salmon fillet (or have your fish monger remove it)

4. Preheat large skillet or grill pan on medium high heat about 2-3 minutes.
5. Sprinkle salmon fillets (on both sides) with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder
6. Add oil to skillet and add salmon.
7. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until salmon is opaque (about 145 degrees if using a meat thermometer) The fillet should separate easily.
8. Top the salmon with the Buttermilk Yogurt Sauce and sprinkle with dill...
9. Save the remainder of the sauce in small bowl for additional sauce at the table

Notes

1. I like to use sockeye or coho salmon ....
2. You can substitute chile powder for the chipotle powder and chives for the dill.
3. Experiment and come up with what ever combination you like. 🙂
