Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets: Fresh, skin-on or skinless
  • Chipotle powder: For smoky heat
  • Honey: Adds sweetness and glaze
  • Olive oil: For cooking
  • Quinoa: A healthy base
  • Avocado: Creamy texture and healthy fats
  • Bell peppers: Adds color and crunch
  • Cilantro: Fresh herb for garnish
  • Lime: For a zesty finish
  • Salt and pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). In a small bowl, mix together chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  2. Drizzle honey over the seasoned salmon fillets. Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. While the salmon is baking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Chop the avocado and bell peppers.
  4. In a bowl, layer quinoa, avocado, and bell peppers. Top with the baked spicy chipotle honey salmon. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by using more or less chipotle powder.
  • Add other veggies like corn, black beans, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Substitute the quinoa with brown rice or couscous.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for 30 minutes before baking.
  • A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt can add a cool, creamy contrast.
