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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the can of black beans. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade evenly over the fillets.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the black beans, salsa, and chopped fresh cilantro. Spoon this mixture over the salmon fillets, covering them evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped cilantro and lime wedges for added freshness.
