Wicked Good Paleo Chipotle-Lime Salmon

Real ingredients the paleo way… a touch of healthy olive oil… lime juice… and the powder of a chipotle pepper. (You can buy the powder or pop a pepper in your coffee grinder to make your own powder, as we do.) We like the oven for this one, set super high at first, then very low, to make incredibly moist salmon. It’s fast, easy, delicious, and gluten-free.
