Roast Salmon with Sweet Chipotle Glaze

It was so great being in Miami and having fresh fish each night. I wanted to continue the fish trend back here in Chicago so I picked up some fresh salmon last week. The salmon turned out great, sweet with a little bit of a smoky kick from the chipotle peppers. I loved that the glaze called for minimal ingredients, all of which I already had on hand, and the whole dish was incredibly quick and easy to prepare. The original recipe has the salmon served over hominy puree which sounds interesting and I think would be a good pairing with the fish. I will definitely be making this again and trying out the hominy puree next time!
