Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  3. Set the rice aside and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. In a greased 9×9 baking dish, place your salmon fillets skin-side down. Drizzle with about 1 tsp of avocado oil.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spice blend, then drizzle with maple syrup. Rub in with your hands or a spoon.
  6. Bake the salmon for 20 minutes.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in olive oil, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Assemble your bowls with scoops of cilantro lime rice, a serving of baked salmon, black beans, pickled red onions, avocado slices, and more fresh cilantro.
