BBQ Salmon Bowls With Mango Avocado Salsa

cathysmaha

BBQ Salmon Bowl with Mango Avocado Salsa is absolutely delicious! The salmon is so quickly roasted in the oven and 6 minutes was perfect for the salmon filet I made. The mango salsa is delicious by itself. I served this dish with the Cucumber Edamame Salad. Eating the leftovers, cold, was great the next day and so refreshing on a hot day. I’ll be making this recipe over and over again.

BBQ Salmon Bowls with Mango Avocado Salsa

INGREDIENTS:
  • Salmon:
    • 1–2 lbs. fresh salmon
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    • 2 teaspoons onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (more for a larger filet)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Mango Avocado Salsa:
    • 2 mangoes, diced
    • 1 avocado, diced
    • 1/4 cup minced cilantro
    • 1/4 cup minced red onion
    • 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional, to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice + 1 teaspoon lime zest
    • salt to taste
  • For Serving:
    • 1 1/2 cups of rice cooked according to instructions
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Mango salsa: Toss all ingredients in a bowl to combine. Taste, adjust, try not to eat the whole bowl.
  2. Cook your rice: Get your rice cooking according to package directions.
  3. Get the oven ready: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Alternatively, you can set it to 500 degrees on the broil setting for medium rare with a yummy crispy top – the risk here is that you have to watch closely so it doesn’t burn the sugar. If taking this route, make sure one of the oven racks is close-ish to the top, about 6 inches or so.
  4. Salmon: 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 6-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon and your desired doneness. See notes if you’re not sure.
  5. Bowl it up: Pile up some rice, pull off some of salmon, and spoon that mango avocado salsa over the whole thing. Add a lime squeezer for good measure. IT’S SO GOOD.
