Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Salmon:

  • 12 lbs fresh salmon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Mango Avocado Salsa:

  • 2 mangoes, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup minced cilantro
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Salt, to taste

For Serving:

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (such as jasmine or basmati)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Avocado Salsa:
    1. In a bowl, combine diced mangoes, avocado, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño.
    2. Add honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
    3. Mix gently and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Rice:
    1. Prepare rice according to package instructions.
  3. Preheat the Oven:
    1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  4. Prepare the Salmon:
    1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and kosher salt with olive oil to form a paste.
    2. Place salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
    3. Rub the spice paste evenly over the top of the salmon.
  5. Bake the Salmon:
    1. Bake in the preheated oven for 6–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon and desired doneness. For a medium-rare finish with a crispy top, you can broil on high for 6–8 minutes, ensuring the oven rack is about 6 inches from the top. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Assemble the Bowls:
    1. Divide cooked rice into bowls.
    2. Top with portions of the baked salmon.
    3. Spoon the mango avocado salsa over the salmon.
    4. Serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to control the heat level.
  • This recipe serves 2–4 people, depending on the amount of salmon used.
