Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 pound salmon fillet (skinless)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)

1 cup corn (canned or frozen, cooked)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

Optional: salsa, Greek yogurt or sour cream, hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa/Rice: If you haven't done so already, cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Season the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the salmon fillet.

      Bake the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Once done, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

        Prepare the Bowl: In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or rice as the base.

          Add Toppings: Top the quinoa/rice with black beans, corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and flaked salmon.

            Finish with Lime and Herbs: Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for freshness.

              Serve: Enjoy this bowl as is or add your choice of salsa, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and a splash of hot sauce for added flavor.
