Instructions
Making BBQ Salmon Bowls with Mango Avocado Salsa is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the salmon fillets in the marinade.
2. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest.
3. Make the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine ingredients, ensuring the avocado doesn’t get mashed.
4. Prepare the Base: In serving bowls, layer a scoop of quinoa or brown rice at the bottom.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Flake the grilled salmon and add it on top of the quinoa. Follow with a generous serving of mango avocado salsa.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for an added burst of flavor and color.
