Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (finely chopped, adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice (brown or white)

1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 avocado (sliced)

1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, chipotle in adobo sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor).

      Cook the Quinoa/Rice: If not already cooked, prepare quinoa or rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.

        Cook the Salmon: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard the remaining marinade) and grill the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness. You can also sear them in a hot skillet for a similar result.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, layer cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top with black beans, corn, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the grilled salmon fillet.

            Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the salmon bowls.
