Ingredients
For the Salmon:
1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of ½ lime
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Avocado-Corn Salsa:
1 cup grilled corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 ripe avocado, diced
½ cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of ½ lime
Salt to taste
Additional Components:
2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Combine chipotle, adobo sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add salmon and marinate for 30 minutes.
Cook rice according to package directions. Flavor with lime juice and cilantro if desired.
Mix all salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake marinated salmon on a lined baking sheet for 10–12 minutes, until flaky and cooked.
Assemble bowls with rice, baked salmon, salsa, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
Notes
For a spicier bowl, use more chipotle peppers or add cayenne.
The avocado-corn salsa is best made fresh, but can be prepped a few hours before.
Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
Grilled or air-fried salmon works as a flavorful alternative to baking.
