Description

A vibrant and hearty salmon and black bean bowl that melds rich flavors and fresh ingredients for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (cubed)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
  • 2 cups white rice (cooked)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 jalapeños (diced)
  • 1 avocado (sliced or diced)
  • ½ red onion (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup sweet tahini dressing


Instructions

  1. Toss cubed salmon in a mixing bowl with oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the fish to become golden and cooked through. Once done, set it aside to rest.
  3. Prepare pico de gallo by mixing the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced jalapeños, and cilantro in a bowl. Season with a pinch of black pepper, cumin, and salt, stirring it all together for a fresh blend.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over low heat, adding black pepper to taste until warmed through.
  5. Layer the cooked white rice as a base in a large bowl. Top it with the warm black beans, golden salmon, pico de gallo, and diced avocado.
  6. Drizzle sweet tahini dressing over the finished bowl to add a creamy texture and nutty flavor. Serve warm, enjoying the vibrant blend of ingredients.

Notes

Use high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Consider garnishing with lime juice for added freshness.
