Slow Roasted Chipotle Salmon

Submitted by TJW2725

"Slow roasting the salmon makes the fat meld into the salmon not out of it. This is an awesome recipe from Gourmet magazine. Sweet and spicy, and a melt in your mouth salmon filet. Easy to make too!"

I'd walk the plank for this one...just maybe I'll loose a few pounds along the way.

This was featured in a Cuisine at Home issue as well and paired with a pineapple cilantro rice that is wonderful with it. We absolutely love this recipe (fish and sauce), although I frequently make it without the wine sauce for weeknight meals just for simplicity. FYI - there is some white fat that seeps out of the sides of the fish as you cook it, but you can easily remove it after cooking so that it looks pretty on the plate.

This is an absolute favorite at my house! I don't usually even bother making the sauce, although I have made and tried it, and it was a very nice complement to the salmon. DH requests this salmon ALL the time! If my chipotles don't have enough adobo in the can, sometimes I will just puree a couple of the chipotles. It's a bit spicier that way, but no one seems to mind. Thanks for posting!

Makes my mouth water just rreemembering this. Scallions were missed in the ingredients list so don't forget them on your shopping trip. The cooking method worked as promised.
