It’s that time of year – Hatch Green Chile Season! I’m sure I’ll have several new recipe creations to share with you, but let me start off the Hatch love fest with three delicious dinner ideas using fish and Hatch green chile. The first is a brand new recipe of mine – Hatch Green Chile Salmon Cakes with Summer Veggie Saute! If you have dietary needs, this recipe is Paleo friendly, gluten-free, dairy free and low carb.
There are fire-roasted Hatch chiles in the patties and also a delicious sauce stirred into the veggie saute. I’ve made Hatch sauces from scratch before, but the Green Chile Anytime Sauce from Stubbs BBQ Sauces was awesome and had all that familiar flavor of Hatch, lime and garlic – it’s quite spicy, which my husband and I love! It’s perfect for a sauce, marinade or dip! I was sent bottles of the Anytime Sauces to experiment with, and I love them — check out their entire line of Anytime Sauces that also includes Sweet Black Pepper and Texas Sriracha versions. Yeehaw!
I can’t help but blog about Hatch Green Chiles all I can each year during their short August to early September season. These Hatch salmon cakes aren’t the first time I’ve paired up fish with the chile pepper – my Hatch Green Chile Trout is a personal favorite for quick-to-fix, one skillet meals (I keep a stash of roasted chiles in the freezer at all times).
Stubbs BBQ has lots of Hatch Chile recipes on their site using the Stubbs Hatch Anytime Sauce. Up next in my Hatch Queue are the Green Chile Tilapia Nachos!
Don’t feel like fish? Check out some of the award-winning recipes I’ve hatched up in years past like Hatch Green Chile Chicken Cheesecake and Hot Mess Hatch Green Chile Burgers on Squash “Buns”.
The next recipe I NEED to make is this one for Green Chile Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!

NOM NOM! Hatch Chiles remind me of New Mexico, where my parents spend a lot of their time. In the summer there are always TONS being roasted outside of the Whole Foods! Aw, brings back the memories and now I am re-thinking wanting to visit for Labor Day!
I LOVE it when they have those roasting tumblers out there . . . smells so good!
How happy am I to have just moved to southern NM 🙂
My fave is pimiento cheese, but with green chiles instead. Such a southern girl!
Lucky!

Pingback: An annual Hatch Chile tradition
I lived in Albuquerque for 7 yrs. So I got totally hooked on hatch green chiles. I live back home in Michigan now and still order green chiles on line so I can get my chile fix. Love it in so many ways green chile stew and green chile cheese burgers are just two of my favorites. Going to try the fish next going ice fishing tomorrow so I can have some fresh fish to cook up. Green chile is the bomb.
I will never get tired of using Hatch green chiles in my recipes — every season I load up my freezer to get me through until next August!
