Salmon with Pineapple Salsa and Spicy Chile Sauce

Great recipe. We loved the salsa. Travis even liked the chipotle mayonnaise and he's not a huge fan of mayonnaise in general.

Prep: 20 minutes

Total: 20 minutes

4 Servings

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 1/4 tsp chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

1 cup diced cored fresh pineapple

2 tbsp ginger preserves or orange marmalade

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

4 6-oz salmon fillets with skin (each 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick)

2 tbsp olive oil

Mix mayonnaise and chipotle chiles in small bowl. Mix pineapple, ginger preserves, lime juice, fresh ginger, and cilantro in another small bowl for salsa. Season salsa with salt and pepper.

Brush salmon with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and saute until just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Spoon chile mayonnaise over. Spoon pineapple salsa alongside.
