Ingredients

  • Spritz of cooking spray
  • One package of tender baby spinach (5 ounces)
  • Divide and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of zesty lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of tangy lime juice
  • Split 1 teaspoon of smoky chipotle powder
  • One can (10 ounces) of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • Chopped vibrant red onion
  • Diced jalapeno peppers for a kick
  • Chopped fiery habanero peppers for extra heat
  • Can of sliced black olives (2.2 ounces)
  • Two succulent salmon fillets (8 ounces each)

Step 1

To begin, preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and generously spray a baking dish with a trusty cooking spray.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, combine a handful of vibrant spinach leaves, a splash of zesty lemon juice, a hint of tangy lime juice, and a touch of smoky chipotle powder. Spread this flavorful mixture over the base of the prepared baking dish and let it rest for a moment.

Step 3

Next, in another bowl, toss together juicy tomatoes, diced red onion, fiery jalapeno peppers, spicy habanero peppers, savory black olives, the remaining lemon and lime juices, and the rest of the chipotle powder. Ensure all the ingredients are well combined for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Lay down fresh salmon fillets on top of the bed of spinach in the baking dish and generously spoon the tomato mixture over them.

Step 5

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake until the salmon is tender and easily flakes with the touch of a fork, which should take around 14 minutes.

Step 6

Enjoy this delectable and nutritious dish straight from your oven to the table!
