Notes

Notes
Note: Adobo sauce comes from a can of chipotle chilies. Chipotle chilies can usually be found in the Mexican aisle. You can store the remaining chipotle chilies and sauce in an airtight container for up to one month. Also, I like to use the salmon fillets from Costco because they are prepacked into perfect serving sizes and have the skin removed.
