For a spicier kick, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in. If you don't have chipotle pepper, a pinch of smoked paprika can be a good substitute. Feel free to add other toppings like black beans, corn, or crumbled cotija cheese. Make sure to use high-quality tortilla chips that can hold up to the toppings.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a bowl, combine the salsa, ground chipotle pepper, and cumin. (2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Sprinkle the diced red onion and thinly sliced jalapeños in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the salmon fillets over the top and season with salt. Generously spoon the salsa mixture over the salmon fillets and distribute any remaining salsa over the onions and jalapeños. (5 minutes)
04
Step
20 mins
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the 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. (20 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
While the salmon is baking, toss the diced avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning. In another small bowl, thin the sour cream with water until it reaches a drizzling consistency. (5 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Divide the tortilla chips between two serving plates. Spoon the onion-jalapeño mixture over the chips, along with any accumulated juices from the baking dish. Top with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and minced green onion. Place a baked salmon fillet on top of each plate and drizzle generously with the thinned sour cream. Sprinkle with additional green onions and serve immediately with lime wedges. (5 minutes)
