Description
This Chili Lime Salmon Bowl is a flavorful and healthy dish featuring marinated salmon, quinoa, and fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Salmon
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 wedges Lime
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, olive oil, and minced garlic to prepare the marinade.
- Place your salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated salmon on it. Bake for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon bakes, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. Cook it in a pot with 2 cups of water or broth for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Slice your favorite veggies—like bell peppers, avocado, and cilantro—and arrange them beautifully in your serving bowls.
- Start with a base of quinoa, then top with flaked chili lime salmon and fresh veggies. Drizzle any leftover marinade as a flavorful dressing.
Notes
- Select fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Fresh-squeezed lime juice is best; it brightens up the entire dish.
- Use vegetable broth instead of water for an extra layer of flavor in the rice.
- Frozen corn works great in this recipe.
