Equipment
Ingredients
salmon
- 2 servings salmon
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- juice from 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic - pressed or minced
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ⅛-1/4 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Salsa
- 1 medium avocado
- juice from 1 lime
- 1 clove garlic - minced
- 1 bell pepper - finely chopped
- ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
- ½-1 teaspoon salt adjust to your saltiness preference, I used close to 1 teaspoon
- ½ small jalapeno - deseeded and finely chopped
- pinch black pepper
- ½ small red onion - finely chopped
Cilantro lime rice (optional)
- 1 cup cooked white rice can also do quinoa, brown rice, etc
- juice from ½ lime
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
- salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix together soy sauce, lime, garlic, olive oil and maple syrup in a bowl or jar. Pour sauce over salmon and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Add all avocado salsa ingredients to a bowl and mix together until combined. Taste and adjust salt at the end. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add salmon to a sheet pan and coat in salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika and chili powder. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- If doing the cilantro lime rice, combine cooked rice with cilantro, lime, olive oil and salt + pepper. I cooked mine in bone broth for extra protein.
- Assemble plates/bowls with rice and salmon, topping the salmon with the avocado salsa. Dig in and enjoy.
Notes
This makes 2 servings but you will likely have some avocado salsa left over. It stores well for 3 days and is so yummy with eggs, chips or basically anything.
