Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your choice, store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

For the Mango Avocado Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowls:

2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and has nice grill marks. Brush with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.

        Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, create a base with cooked quinoa or brown rice. Arrange the black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, and spinach or mixed greens around the sides.

          Top with Salmon: Place a grilled salmon fillet on top of each bowl, then spoon a generous amount of mango avocado salsa over the salmon.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!
