Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet

1 cup brown rice (or quinoa for a lighter option)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for spice)

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice/Quinoa: Begin by cooking the brown rice or quinoa according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the grain, boiling it in water, and then simmering until fluffy.

    Prepare the Salmon: While the grains are cooking, season the salmon fillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakily tender. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before flaking it into large chunks.

      Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a generous scoop of brown rice or quinoa, followed by a portion of black beans, corn, and the halved cherry tomatoes.

          Add Salmon and Veggies: Top the bowl with the flaked salmon, diced avocado, and chopped red onion. Add fresh cilantro on top for extra flavor.

            Drizzle Sauce: Finish the bowl by drizzling the lime yogurt dressing over all the ingredients. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.

              Serve: Enjoy your flavorful salmon burrito bowl either warm or at room temperature. It’s perfect for meal prep or a quick weeknight dinner!
