Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until tender, then drain and keep warm.
15 min - 2
Mix your ready made chipotle adobo sauce (see the base recipe) with the honey and half the lime juice.
- 3
Line a tray with baking paper. Place the salmon skin side down, rub with the oil and salt, then spoon over the glaze.
- 4
Roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the fish flakes easily and is opaque all the way through.
11 min - 5
Toss the hot potatoes with the remaining lime juice and coriander.
- 6
Spoon your ready made creamy avocado salsa (see the base recipe) onto plates and set the salmon and potatoes on top. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips
- Pat the fish dry before glazing so the glaze sticks and does not slide off.
- Glazing sugar burns fast. Keep the oven at {t200} and check at 10 minutes.
- Check the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily and look opaque, not translucent.
Storing and freezing
Eat straight away. Leftover salmon keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days and is good flaked into salads or tacos. Eat cold or reheat until steaming hot. Do not freeze cooked salmon with the salsa.
Questions
Can I use frozen salmon?
Yes. Thaw fully in the fridge overnight and pat dry before glazing.
Can I swap the honey?
Yes. Use maple syrup, agave or a pinch of brown sugar. For a vegan variation use agave and swap the salmon for thick tofu steaks.
Can I cook it in a pan?
Yes. Fry skin side down for 5 minutes, glaze, turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more.
