Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream, optional
  • Hot sauce, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat for cooking the salmon.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the minced chipotle peppers, honey, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet or in the skillet and coat them evenly with the glaze.
  4. Cook the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the glaze has caramelized.
  5. While the salmon cooks, prepare the rice or quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
  6. Slice the avocado and cucumber, and portion the shredded carrots, corn, and black beans for assembly.
  7. Divide the rice or quinoa among serving bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet and arrange the avocado, cucumber, carrots, corn, and black beans around it.
  9. Finish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, yogurt or sour cream, and hot sauce as desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Reduce the amount of chipotle peppers for a milder flavor.
  • Grilled salmon works well and adds extra smoky flavor.
  • Cauliflower rice or greens can be used for a lower-carb option.
  • Mango or pineapple makes a great sweet tropical addition.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best texture, store components separately and assemble before serving.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
  • Frozen salmon can be used if fully thawed before cooking.
