Preparation

  1. Prepare the chipotle glaze

    • In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. Preparing the salmon

    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

    • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste.

    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

    • Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.

    • Remove the salmon from the pan and place it on a baking sheet, skin side down.

  3. Apply the glaze

    • Use a pastry brush to generously apply the chipotle glaze over the salmon fillets.

    • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

  4. Add the gourmet touch

    • Just before serving, generously add Spherika chipotle spheres over the glazed salmon fillets. These spheres will provide a burst of smoky and spicy flavor that will perfectly complement the glazed salmon.

Presentation

  1. Main course

    • Serve the glazed salmon on individual plates. Garnish with a few fresh cilantro leaves or parsley to add a touch of color and freshness.

  2. Accompaniments

    • Pair the salmon with a green salad, roasted asparagus, rice or creamy mashed potatoes. These mild accompaniments will complement the intense flavors of the salmon and chipotle spheres.

  3. Additional decoration

    • For a more sophisticated presentation, add a few thin slices of lemon and some dried chili flakes on top of the salmon.

Benefits of chipotle spheres

Chipotle spheres not only provide a spicy and smoky flavour, but also add a unique visual and textural element to the dish. These spheres encapsulate the chipotle flavour in a soft membrane that bursts in the mouth, releasing its intensity in a novel way. They are ideal for meat, fish and vegetable dishes, offering an innovative and sophisticated touch.

Additional Tips

  1. Balance of flavors

    • Be sure to balance the spiciness of the chipotle with the sweetness of the honey and the acidity of the lemon in the glaze. Taste and adjust as needed to get the perfect balance.

  2. Cooking control

    • Don't overcook salmon. It should be cooked through but juicy. A cooking thermometer can help you achieve the perfect internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  3. Creativity in presentation

    • Experiment with different ways to present the salmon and chipotle spheres. Creativity can make your dish not only delicious, but also visually impressive.
