Rinse, remove stems and cut a bunch of Swiss chard into 2-inch squares or so.  Chop 1/4 of a red onion into long slivers and dice another 1/4 of an onion as well as 1/4 of a red pepper.  Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and place about a pound and a half of salmon, cut into 3 pieces, on a baking sheet. Line the sheet with parchment paper so that the salmon skin doesn’t stick to the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. When the salmon is done, it should be oozing a little fat (this looks white).

While the salmon is cooking, place the following ingredients into a food processor.

1 ripe avocado
1/4 red onion, diced
1/4 red pepper, diced
Garlic powder (about 5 shakes)
Paprika (3 shakes)
Red pepper flakes (2 shakes)
Salt and pepper (a little bit of each)

Pulse for about 30 seconds, add 2T of water, and pulse until all ingredients are blended together.the color might be a brownish green. That’s ok. It’s less about how it looks and all about how it tastes.

Pour some olive oil into a large pan and sautee the sliced red onions until they get soft. Add the Swiss chard and cover for 5 minutes. Uncover and, stir, cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Don your finest ‘around the house clothes’ and pair with a glass of your favorite wine.
