Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (grilled, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder, honey, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the marinade. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows.
  4. Bake salmon for 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Let rest for a few minutes.
  5. Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with baked salmon, avocado slices, corn, tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap rice for quinoa, couscous, or greens for a low-carb version.
  • Add black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Make it spicier with a drizzle of chipotle mayo or hot sauce.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but great for meal prep with components stored separately.
