BBQ Salmon Bowls with Mango Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large ripe mango, diced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt to taste
• Cooked quinoa or rice (about 2 cups)
• Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Make the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to combine.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F to 450°F).
5. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top with grilled salmon and generous spoonfuls of mango avocado salsa.
7. Garnish: Serve with lime wedges on the side.
