Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 lime, juiced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Greek yogurt or sour cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

      Warm the Black Beans and Corn: In a small saucepan, heat the black beans and corn over medium heat until warmed through. Stir in half of the lime juice, adding a pinch of salt if desired.

        Prepare the Bowl: In each bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, followed by the warm black beans and corn mixture. Flake the baked salmon on top.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Top each bowl with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle the remaining lime juice over each bowl for added zest.

            Serve: Optional - Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top for creaminess, and enjoy your Sizzling Salmon Burrito Bowl!
