Description

This slightly spicy take on baked Salmon brings the flavor and the nutrition!


Ingredients

1 slab salmon

1-2 Tablespoon adobo sauce from a small can of Chipotle Peppers

2 Tablespoons salted butter

1 clove fresh garlic

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 avocado

juice of half a lime

red onion to taste


Instructions

Place a large piece of tin foil on a baking sheet. Put your salmon on top of the foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Season salmon with salt + pepper. Spoon your adobo sauce out of the can and spread across salmon.

Cut butter into small chunks and place on top of salmon. I use cold butter that melts in the oven and it works perfectly! Dice fresh garlic + cilantro and sprinkle on top of salmon. Fold up your foil so that it creates a packet and put in the oven.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until salmon is flaky and cooked through.

While salmon is baking, mash 1 avocado. Mix in fresh cilantro, 1/2 a lime, and red onion to taste. Sprinkle with salt and serve on top of your Chipotle Salmon to balance out the heat.
