Vanilla is indigenous to Mexico, therefore we felt its flavor would be appropriately paired with chipotle peppers.

The previous reviewer said she didn’t know wgen to add the chipolte. The answer is in the 3rd sebtence of the directions. It says, “Stir in the remaining ingredients.”

I don’t mean to be rude but where does the chipotle come in?

This is a favorite recipe for salmon —

The honey needs to be dissolved in a little water to help it blend with the oil. I use vanilla paste or extract instead of the bean — it’s just easier.

I sometimes make it with maple syrup instead of honey. This goes well with salmon (or just about anything!!)
