My Honey Chipotle Citrus Salmon comes together in less than an hour. How’s that for easy dining? Grilled salmon is one of my favorite meals, and I know you’ll love it too! I always think this dish tastes like Summer, but you can enjoy it all year round. Who knows, it could brighten up the coldest day!

Here’s the main equipment I used for my Honey Chipotle Citrus Salmon. You can find more of my grilling must-haves in the Equipment and Tools section.
You can find an in-depth demonstration of this recipe in my video and recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here’s a quick rundown of how I pulled this delicious salmon together.
My Honey Chipotle Citrus Salmon came off the grill looking magazine-worthy. It had the perfect golden color, and smelled amazing. This meal tasted like a tropical vacation! The cool topping was a great contrast to the sweetly spiced fish.
With its fruity topping, this Honey Chipotle Citrus Salmon is a meal on its own. You can add a side salad and some crusty bread if you'd like. I prefer ciabatta rolls!
You can store leftover salmon in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the fish for 4-6 months. I don’t recommend freezing the topping, but you can refrigerate it for up to 2 days. After that, the avocado gets brown.
