Directions

Salmon Directions:

Brush salmon with oil on boths sides, and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and cok until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the top fo the salmon with some of the ancho glaze, flip over, and contiue cooking about 2 minutes longer, until a crust has formed and the salmon is cooked to medium.
Remove salmon from the pan, glazed-side up, and brush with some more of the ancho glaze. Spoon some of the Spicy Black Bean Sauce onto a plate, drizzle with some of the Roasted Jalapeno Crema, and set the salmon in the center, glazed-side up.

Black Bean Sauce Directions:
Combine the beans, onion, garlic, chipotles, and cumin in a medium saucepan, and add cold water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until beans are tender. Add more water if the beans appear dry.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a food processor. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid, and process until almost smooth; sauce should be a little chunky. Season with salt.

Roasted Jalapeno Crema Directions:
Place crema and jalapenos in a food processor, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

    I had this salmon yesterday at my sister's house. It was awesome! I actually prefer the salmon without the beans, as I think they cover the flavor of the salmon and the glaze. This is definitely my new favorite salmon recipe! - 6/29/09
