Ingredients

  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • ½ cup butter (plus additional for preparing the baking sheet)
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely ground real salt
  • ¼ cup chipotle chile paste
  • 4 wild-caught salmon fillets

Instructions

  • Whisk the honey into the bourbon until it dissolves fully, and then set it aside. In a medium bowl, or in the basin of a standmixer, beat the garlic, butter, sea salt and chipotle chile paste together until smooth, then, continue beating the seasoned butter while pouring the honeyed bourbon into the butter in a smooth, thin stream until fully incorporated.
  • Heat the oven to 425 F, and spread a thin layer of butter on the baking sheet.
  • Arrange the salmon on the greased baking sheet, and then spoon the Honey Chipotle Bourbon Butter generously over each filet. Brush the butter along the whole fillet to evenly coat them. Bake the salmon for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Organic chipotle chile paste and chipotles in adobo are notoriously difficult to source. For those of you who wish to make your own, you might try a recipe like this.

    Is it really 1/4 cup of the chipotle paste? I made this & it was soooo hot, I barely used any of the mix on the salmon & had a lot left over. It made a huge amount for 4 fillets serving 4 people. I hated to waste a good bourbon! I’m wondering if the measurements are right.
    Thank you!

      Yes, it really is 1/4 cup, and the measurements are correct. It amounts to about 1 tablespoon of chipotle chile per serving, a fairly modest amount. If you don’t care for chiles, or hot foods, this wouldn’t be the best dish for you.
