Instructions

1. Prep the salsa by combining mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, yogurt, and salt in a bowl. Mix gently and refrigerate.

2. Cube the salmon and pat dry. Toss it with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon cubes on each side for 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

4. Fill bowls with warm cooked rice. Top with salmon bites and spoon over the creamy mango-avocado salsa.

5. Finish with extra lime zest and chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe works great with white or brown rice, or even quinoa.

For extra creaminess, you can add an extra spoon of yogurt to the salsa.

If prepping ahead, store the salsa separately and add just before serving.
