A hint of sweetness cuts through the chilli in this remarkable chipotle sauce, pairing perfectly with a delicately grilled fillet of spiced salmon. Light and refreshing, this dish takes your midweek dinner to a new level.
To prepare raspberry chipotle sauce, heat oil in a medium frying pan over low-medium heat. Cook onion, chilli and garlic, until softened. Add raspberries and cook for 1–2 minutes, until softened. Add vinegar, chipotle and honey and simmer for 1 minute. Set aside for 5 minutes, to cool slightly. Transfer into a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
To prepare spice mix, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
Preheat a barbeque grill plate or large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Brush salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle with spice mix to coat on both sides. Grill salmon skin side down first for 4 minutes, until skin is crisp and golden brown. Turn and cook for a further 3–4 minutes, until browned and still slightly pink in the centre. Cover loosely with foil and set aside for a few minutes, to rest.
