Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or grilled)

1 ripe avocado, diced

2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: hot sauce for extra spice

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: In a bowl, coat the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle the Cajun seasoning generously over each fillet. Ensure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.

    Cook the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

      Prepare the Bowl Ingredients: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the bowls. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked brown rice (or quinoa), corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

        Assemble the Bowls: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. In serving bowls, layer the rice and vegetable mixture first, then top with chunks of avocado and the baked salmon fillets.

          Finishing Touches: If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for added spice and garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro.

            Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your flavorful and vibrant Spicy Cajun Salmon Bowls warm!
