Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (preferably homemade or your favorite brand)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black 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 small jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

For Serving:

2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the salmon, coating them evenly. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Mango Avocado Salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down (if using skin-on). Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until flaky and cooked through, brushing with the remaining marinade halfway through cooking.

        Assemble the Bowls: While the salmon cooks, prepare the base for your bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa or brown rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of black beans.

          Add the Salmon and Salsa: Once the salmon is cooked, place one fillet on top of the quinoa/rice in each bowl. Spoon a generous amount of the mango avocado salsa over the salmon.

            Serve and Garnish: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls for an extra zing and serve with lime wedges on the side.
