Grilled Salmon and Smokey Tomato-chipotle Sauce

My Favorite fish Salmon is one of the richest, strongest flavored fish available, it combines well with piquant sauces. This one is made with tomatoes and chipotle chiles. You can find these chipotles canned in dark red adobo sauce.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    To prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and oregano, and cook until the garlic is light brown, about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes (including the juice) and the chile. Season with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally and crushing the tomatoes with the back of a large spoon as they soften. Carefully pour the sauce into a food processor. Puree and return to the pan. Keep warm over low heat.
  2. 2
    Generously brush or spray the salmon fillets with olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the fillets, flesh side down, over Direct Medium heat until you can lift them off the grate with tongs without sticking, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the fillets and finish cooking them, skin side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Slip a spatula between the skin and flesh, and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Serve warm with the sauce.

This is an excellent salmon dish with the rich taste of the chipotle chilies. The chilies give the salmon a wonderful smoked and spicy taste. The next time we make this dish, we will add more of the chipootle chilies to add more of a kick. Thank you for sharing your tips on grilling the salmon and this delicious recipe.

    WOW!!! The tomato chipotle sauce was to die for. I used 2 chipotle chilies because we like spicy and also used a little of the adobe sauce. It was fantastic. I had extra sauce left over so we will try this over grilled chicken later this week.

    Delicious grilled fish recipe with a scrumptious sauce. The grilling instructions were right on. I made up my own chipotles in adobo sauce using the last 3 of a treasured hoard of dried chipotles. Cooked them in a spicy-rich, oniony tomato sauce and proceeded with recipe.

    I used just the sauce to accompany a simple salmon cake recipe from elsewhere since all I had was canned salmon. Wow, the sauce is incredible! It ended up being devoured faster than I expected, so I actually watered it down a little (about 3:1 sauce to water) and it still had enough vim and vigour to be awesome. I liked that the sauce was so savoury with just enough of a spicy kick to keep you on your toes. The chipotle chile adds a really nice smokey flavour. I also found that substituting fresh tomatoes for the canned ones and normal salt rather than kosher salt worked alright, but I did add a little extra salt to make up for not having kosher salt. I highly recommend this sauce for accompanying salmon. Of course, I'll have to try the salmon fillet part now, too.
