Southwest Chipotle Salmon
We came across this zesty Southwestern recipe on "Aggie's Kitchen" blog. Aggie adapted it from a chicken recipe in "Foods and Flavors of San Antonio" by Gloria Chadwick, and we made a few tweaks of our own. You can broil or grill the salmon, which we suggest serving with rice, black or pinto beans, and sauted red pepper and onion, garnished with fresh cilantro.
