    What is honey chipotle sauce made of?

    I like to keep this honey-chipotle sauce super simple. The easier the better, I mean, if you're not new around here, you should know that. This is such a simple seasoning for salmon, no matter how you like to cook it. This honey-chipotle sauce is simply made up of honey, ground chipotle peppers and lime. If you wanted to add a bit of seasoning, you can add a touch of garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor.

    Now, these measurements are for 1 BBQ cut filet. Of course, multiply as you need depending on how many filets you are making.

    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tbsp chipotle pepper
    • โ…› lime, juiced

    I like to really slather any seasoning onto my salmon, you can always make the homemade sauce and spoon it on until it's covered to your liking. If you have extra you can save it for later or whip up some honey chipotle chicken for those who don't like seafood.
