Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 cups cooked rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Rinse and pat dry your salmon fillets. This helps achieve that beautiful crust when cooking.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the salmon fillets.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Bowl: While the salmon is cooking, prepare your rice as per package instructions if not already done.
- Assemble Your Bowl: In a serving bowl, start with a base of rice. Top with your blackened salmon, followed by diced mango and avocado.
- Garnish and Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra punch of flavor. Enjoy immediately!
