These Chili Lime and Ginger Salmon Taco Bowl Salads are a gluten-free dinner idea that’s bursting with flavor. The combination of tender, spiced salmon with fresh greens, veggies, and a zesty dressing makes for a satisfying and healthy meal in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients: 2 salmon fillets. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon ground ginger. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 cups mixed greens e.g., spinach, arugula, and romaine. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. ½ red onion, thinly sliced. ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed. ½ cup corn kernels fresh or frozen. 1 avocado, sliced. ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro. Juice of 2 limes. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for a vegan option. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to your spice preference.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground cumin, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and rub them with the spice mixture. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. While the salmon is baking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, black beans, corn, avocado, and chopped cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the dressing. Once the salmon is slightly cooled, break it into chunks with a fork. Add the salmon chunks to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined. Serve your Chili Lime and Ginger Salmon Taco Bowl Salad immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
