Spicy Chipotle Honey Salmon Bowls You Must Try!

A vibrant and nutritious meal featuring flaky salmon glazed in a sweet and smoky chipotle honey sauce, served over a bed of grains with fresh vegetables and black beans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, lime wedges, and extra chipotle honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chipotle honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and brush generously with the marinade.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily. Optional: broil for the last 1-2 minutes for a charred finish.
  5. Divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice into two bowls.
  6. Arrange cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, corn, and black beans over the grains.
  7. Flake the cooked salmon into large pieces and place on top of the bowls.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, and optional jalapeños or extra honey drizzle.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, swap the grains for cauliflower rice or mixed greens.
  • Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you cannot find store-bought chipotle honey, mix honey with a little adobo sauce from a can of chipotles.
