Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse and drain the can of black beans. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice (squeeze the lime), cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a simple marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade evenly over the fillets.
In a medium bowl, mix the black beans, salsa, and chopped fresh cilantro. Spoon this mixture over the salmon fillets, covering them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped cilantro and lime wedges for added freshness.
