Chimichurri
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1 cup parsley
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper. Place salmon pieces in the baking dish, and bake for 10-15 minutes until salmon is opaque in the middle.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare chimichurri. Add all ingredients except the olive oil to a food processor. Pulse 5-10 times to finely chop all the ingredients.

- Spread a generous amount of chimichurri on each piece of salmon to serve. Add extra chimichurri to veggies, grains, etc.
Notes
When baking salmon, a general rule of thumb for timing is: 10 minutes for every inch the fish is thick. For example, if the fish is 1.5 inches thick, bake for 15 minutes.
