Simple to bake salmon fillets with a sweet and spicy cranberry chipotle pepper glaze.
Cranberry Chipotle Glazed Baked Salmon
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Welcome to #CranberryWeek! All week long I will be sharing my newest recipes for using that delicious autumn berry along with a group of blogging friends. I am sure we will have it covered from A-Z!
For my recipe of the day, I am sharing cranberry chipotle glazed baked salmon. Baking salmon is one of my favorite things since I can get it put together in just a few minutes. This one is similar, albeit different, from another recipe I have shared for Jalapeno Glazed Baked Salmon (recipe link past the recipe printout) although that one doesn’t use cranberries but jalapeno jelly instead.
I usually make my own jalapeno jelly although I don’t think I have posted that yet. I’ll try to get it up when I have time.
Cranberry sauce is easy to make too- I call for using jellied in this one but if you don’t mind the chunkiness of whole berry you can use that type as well. I will go either way, using whatever I have around. And you can make you own sauce year round if you stash some bags of cranberries in the freezer.
The fish is easy to bake- don’t bother trying to remove the skin before baking. You will find it separates nicely when the fish is done- you might have to loosen it around the edge but it’s no problem. And as far as bones go, I don’t usually find them in salmon.
Baking the lemon with the fish softens them up and makes it very easy to squeeze out nice warm juice over your seafood.
I will often serve fish simply with wild rice and a tossed salad. Garlic bread is also nice too. However you plan yours out, I hope you enjoy, and be sure to stop back by each day this week. In fact, the blog will be very busy with recipes the next couple of weeks as we gear up for Thanksgiving here at Palatable. It’s the most wonderfully hungry time of the year between now and New Year’s Day!
Cya’ tomorrow (I gotta’ get back to watching that Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots game…)

Salmon is one of our favorites and I absolutely love the glaze on this. A great way to change it up and enjoy Salmon a new way. Great recipe!
Sounds like a tasty glaze. I love baking salmon, it gives a great even cook and is so easy.
This glaze sounds amazing. What a great reason to keep a can of the jelly around all the time.
yummy! I love salmon dressed with lots of flavor! this is such a great idea 🙂
We don’t make a lot of fish in my house, but this sauce sounds so wonderful that I want to run out and buy a couple of salmon fillets to make this weekend. I look forward to trying it!
This looks delicious! My family loves salmon and I’m sure this would be a hit at our house! I love that you added fresh ginger to the glaze. Yum!
Oh, Sue, this looks SO delicious. I can’t wait to try it. I haven’t seen any fresh salmon in my markets recently. I’ll keep looking.
The hubs would love this. I would have to swap the fish, but the glaze looks delicious.
Love this flavor combo!
Your style of cooking is right up my alley and speaks to my heart! Thank you for all the lovely recipes!
