Ingredients

SALMON
  • 3 cups cooked rice, prepared as directed
  • 2 pounds fresh salmon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Mango Avocado Salsa:
  • 2 mangoes, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • minced jalapeño, diced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 lime, zested and juiced
  • salt to taste
FOR SERVING
  • thinly sliced red onion, shallots or scallions
  • lime wedge
  • chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare rice as directed on packaging.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss mango salsa ingredients until combined. Set aside.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray thoroughly with Pam.
  4. Mix the spices and the olive oil to make a paste. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the paste liberally over the top part of the salmon. Bake for 9-13 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon and your desired doneness.
  5. Optional: to crisp up the top of the salmon, turn the oven on broil for about 2 minutes until marinade begins to bubble. Keep a close eye on the salmon to avoid burning.
  6. To serve, layer rice, salmon, and mango avocado salsa. Serve with additional toppings and a slice of lime.
