Elements of a Fiesta Salmon Bowl

The elements of these salmon bowls are simple to prep and enjoy, but know that nothing is set in stone with recipe (much like ALL of our bowl recipes!). You can absolutely sub in other ingredients you have on hand when the bowl mood strikes. These fiesta salmon bowls combine:

• Salmon filets
• Cilantro lime rice
• Corn and bean salad
• Fresh chopped cilantro
• Optional (but oh so delish!): sliced avocado, dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream

Simple Grilled Salmon

The grilled salmon recipe that these bowls call for is oh so simple. Just salt, pepper, olive oil and your grill is all you’ll need for flakey salmon perfection.

Cilantro Lime Rice

When it comes to this cilantro lime rice, feel free to use white or brown rice, whichever you prefer! We like the bite that brown rice has and we love starchy long grain white rice, it’s a classic! But what is the difference between the two?

• Brown Rice: Brown rice comes in a long grain or a short grain! It is a whole grain that still has it’s nutritious germ and fibrous bran! It tends to have a little bit more of an earthy flavor.
• White Rice: White rice also comes in many different shapes and sizes. The main difference between white rice and brown rice is that the white rice is stripped of its bran and germ. White rice has less fiber and is a bit easier to digest!

No matter what type of rice you choose, they both taste great in these fiesta salmon bowls.

Can you Double this Recipe?

Yes! In fact you can double, triple or even 1/2 or 1/4 this recipe to your heart’s content. It’s great for meal prep for the week.

Either way, you can’t go wrong with prepping a batch of these fiesta salmon bowls for the week, or whipping up a single serve on a moment’s notice.

How to Store Fiesta Salmon Bowls

If you’re looking to meal prep these bowls and then eat them throughout the week, simply store in air-tight containers in the fridge for 3-5 days. Pro Tip: wait to add the fresh sliced avocado and dollop of Greek yogurt til you’re about to serve these bowls!
