The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a super simple and very versatile recipe. The salsa and mayonnaise can easily be made in advance and each takes about 10 minutes at the most. The chipotle should be about the size of a small acorn but if you like your food spicier, certainly you can use more.

This is also great served chilled. Cook the salmon in advance and chill with the skin side up. Serve with the chilled salsa and mayonnaise.
