Heat the oil in small skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool.

In food processor, pulse anchos and onions together until a paste is formed. Add garlic, butter, lime juice, salt and honey. Puree until smooth.

Grill fish: Preheat George Foreman Grill. When hot, spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle salmon with a little salt and pepper. Spread a little chile butter on each fillet and place on grill. Close top and grill for 5 minutes. Open. Turn off grill.

To serve: Place accompaniment in middle (soft polenta or grits), place fish fillet on top and drizzle more of the chile butter all over the top and around the sides of the plate. If serving vegetable, place a few pieces around the edge of the plate too.
