Ingredients
1 pound salmon fillets
1 large mango
1 large avocado
0.25 cup red onion
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
Instructions
1. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. In a bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the salmon bites for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
4. Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with the salmon bites and spoon over the mango-avocado salsa.
5. Zest the lime over the top and add an extra squeeze of lime juice before serving. Serve immediately.
Notes
The salmon is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
Make sure to toss the salsa gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
To keep it low carb, skip the rice and serve over a bed of greens.
