Chipotle Salmon

[andysocial]

So I decided to break the mold of simple grilled salmon (which is good, don't get me wrong) when I saw a recipe for chipotle-glazed salmon in Cuisine Magazine. It was way too spicy for me, but I'm a spice wimp. Alex was put off by it, and Ang thought it was good but not appreciably better than salmon on a grill.

The pineapple-cilantro rice bed was good, though.

Ah, well - nothing ventured and all that. Tomorrow is a simple crockpot pot roast. No worries about problems with that one.

You absolutely must share the pineapple-cilantro rice recipe.

I need some new flavors to add to our monotonous vegetarian routine. I have tons of cookbooks, but I haven't been motivated lately. Pineapple-cilantro rice, however, is very motivating. I can make sauteed portebello burgers to go with it, topped with grilled pineapple and a zesty sauce. YUM!

For the love of humanity, give me the recipe!
