Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, the zest and juice of two fresh limes, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Place two salmon fillets into a shallow dish and pour the prepared marinade over them, ensuring they are completely coated. Let the salmon marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and browned. Gently flip the salmon and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Begin assembling the Chili Lime Salmon Bowls by dividing 2 cups of cooked brown or white rice among four bowls. Top each portion of rice with a salmon fillet and arrange slices of creamy avocado, shredded purple cabbage, sweet corn, and juicy cherry tomatoes around the salmon.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro and thinly sliced green onions on top for a fresh finish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup of yogurt, the juice of one lime, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and a pinch of salt to create a creamy chili lime sauce.
- Garnish each bowl with lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes
Customize your bowl with toppings based on what you have on hand. Store salmon, rice, and fresh vegetables separately for meal prep.
