Cherry Chipotle Sauce on Salmon


Ingredients
1 teaspoon butter, softened
½ teaspoon all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons Tart Is Smart™ tart cherry concentrate
1-1/2 teaspoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce (1 small chile)       
1/8 teaspoon salt                                 
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
2 salmon fillets (6-8 oz. each, 1-inch thick)
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro 

   
Directions
Stir together butter and flour; set aside. 
Combine Tart is Smart™ tart cherry concentrate, honey, garlic, chipotle, salt and cumin in small, shallow dish.

Add salmon fillets; let stand at room temperature 10 – 15 minutes to marinate, turning once.

 
Preheat broiler, spray broiler pan and rack with non-stick cooking spray.  Remove salmon fillets from marinade.  Reserve 1 tablespoon marinade for basting. 

Broil salmon about 11 minutes, turning once, basting with reserved marinade, until cooked throughout.


While salmon is broiling, transfer remaining marinade to 8-inch skillet. 

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat;  cook, stirring often, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes. 

Reduce heat to low.  Stir in butter-flour paste, cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. 

Stir in cilantro; cook, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. 

Transfer salmon to serving plates; spoon cherry chipotle sauce on top and serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings.
