Roasted Salmon with Tomatillos
Serves 6
Time 35 min
Smoky chipotle chiles add a spicy flavor to the tomato and cilantro sauce which slowly bakes into the salmon. Tomatillos are small Mexican green tomatoes which add a pleasant tartness. Serve this dish over wilted greens or quinoa pilaf with toasted pumpkin seeds.
