Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked brown rice

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)

1/4 cup salsa (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice: In a large pot, cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.

      Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then flake the salmon into large pieces.

        Prepare the Toppings: While the salmon cooks, prepare your toppings. Rinse and drain black beans, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro. If using corn from a can or freezer, ensure it's heated through.

          Assemble the Bowl: In individual serving bowls or one large bowl, layer the ingredients starting with a base of cooked brown rice. Top with the flaked salmon, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.

            Add Seasoning: Drizzle the lime juice over the assembled bowls and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. For extra creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Mix the ingredients together just before eating to blend the flavors or enjoy them layered. Serve immediately and relish your delicious Salmon Fiesta Burrito Bowl!
