SALSA-BAKED SALMON NACHOS

Salsa-Baked Salmon Nachos image

This is one of my favorite methods for cooking salmon! Baked on a bed of onions and jalapeno peppers and thickly covered with seasoned salsa, the salmon stays moist and tender without giving your kitchen any fishy smell. Even though these nachos don't contain cheese, they're topped with a rich sour cream drizzle which makes them every bit as decadent as real nachos.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
⅔ cup salsa
½ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup diced red onion
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 (8 ounce) skinless salmon fillets, bones removed
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 medium avocado, diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
⅓ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon water
3 cups corn tortilla chips
¼ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 small lime, juiced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Combine salsa, ground chipotle, and cumin in a bowl.
Sprinkle red onion and jalapenos in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place salmon filets over top and season with salt. Generously spoon salsa over the filets and distribute remaining salsa over onions and jalapenos.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven, until salmon is moist and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 130 degrees F (55 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss diced avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Thin sour cream with water in another bowl.
Divide chips between two serving plates. Spoon onion-jalapeno mixture over top, along with any accumulated juices, then top with avocado, cilantro, and green onion. Place a salmon filet on top of each plate and drizzle with sour cream. Sprinkle with more green onions and serve with lime.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is at least 1 inch thick and has a vibrant orange-red color.
Thaw frozen salmon properly: If using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
Season the salmon generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to flavor the salmon. Some popular options include lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and dill.
Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium. However, you can cook it to your preferred doneness.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the salmon fillets so that they cook evenly.
Use a nonstick baking sheet or parchment paper: This will prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
Serve the salmon immediately: Baked salmon is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. With a few simple tips, you can cook a perfect baked salmon every time.
