Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 cup brown rice, cooked
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup corn
- Fresh lime for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by patting the fillets dry with paper towels and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix sriracha sauce with a tablespoon of olive oil to create a marinade. Coat the salmon fillets evenly with the spicy marinade.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- While the salmon cooks, warm the cooked brown rice and black beans in a separate pan or microwave.
- Prepare the burrito bowl by dividing the warm brown rice between two serving bowls as the base.
- Top the rice with black beans, corn, and diced avocado.
- Gently place the cooked salmon on top of the rice and vegetable mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the entire bowl for added brightness and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the salmon is still hot and enjoy your Spicy Salmon Burrito Bowl.
Tips
- Always pat your salmon fillets dry before cooking to ensure a crispy, golden exterior.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that salmon reaches the perfect 145°F internal temperature.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in sriracha for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Choose fresh, ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Use brown rice for added nutrition and a nutty flavor profile.
- Adjust sriracha amount to control spice level—more for heat lovers, less for mild preferences.
- Fresh lime is crucial—it adds brightness and helps balance the rich salmon and creamy avocado.
- For a meal prep version, cook salmon and prep ingredients in advance and assemble just before serving.
