Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.

For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth.

Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
