When I learned that I had the opportunity to create a recipe that would bring those delicious Mexican flavors back to me, I felt some excitement, as through meals we can bring back many good memories. That’s what happened to me, since this recipe allowed me to bring back to my memory the joyous moments that I lived with some very good Mexican friends I have, with whom we made company to each other in this country. It was at that time that I learned to appreciate and savor the roots of Mexican cuisine in a different way. That is why I wanted to do a mixture between this delicious salmon and the chipotle sauce, an ideal alternative for Lent or Holy Week. I really achieved very powerful flavors, besides of having this side salad with a dressing much like Mexican style.

That is why it was easy to bring back those very particular and delicious flavors, thanks to these wonderful La Morena products.

I am fortunate that here in Atlanta there are a variety of supermarkets where we can get these products, and one of them is the Mercado del Pueblo. In this place you can find the full range of La Morena products, in aisle number 3. For my recipe I used Chipotle Peppers in adobo sauce.

For the salmon, I prepared a marinade with the ingredients that you see in the picture below, and mixed them in a food processor, but you can also use a blender if you like. Then pour this sauce on the salmon, and let it marinade in the refrigerator for an hour.

For the salad dressing, I used an avocado, lime juice, yogurt, spices, and the most important ingredient: cilantro.

I wanted to give a crunchy touch to the salad, so I used a flour tortilla cut in strips, sprayed with some cooking spray and baked for a few minutes.
