This Montreal Salmon and Chipotle Rice is one of those delicious meals I could eat all day long! So Salmon is by far one of my most favorite things to eat and I’ve always loved Chipotle’s rice. I was in the line at Chipotle one day and the guy was making a fresh batch of rice. I watched him closely as he tossed in cilantro (one of my favorite herbs), salt, pepper and lemon and lime juice! And just like a food blogger I went straight home and made it! Food this good should not be this easy to make but it really is that simple! Share this dish with your loved ones, they will thank you, trust me!
