Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (5–6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Zest and juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked brown or white rice
1 large avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
Lime wedges, for serving
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
1 tablespoon lime juice & 1 teaspoon chili powder, mixed into yogurt sauce (optional)
Instructions
Whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, honey/agave syrup, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
Marinate the salmon fillets in the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; add oil then place salmon skin-side down. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 2–3 minutes until fully cooked.
Divide cooked rice among four bowls; top with salmon fillets and arrange avocado slices, cabbage, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions as desired.
Optionally mix yogurt with lime juice and chili powder for a creamy topping.
