1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or mixed greens)

1 lime, juiced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: salsa, Greek yogurt, or sour cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Season the Salmon: In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the salmon fillets with the mixture.

      Bake the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.

        Prepare the Quinoa: If not already cooked, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water, then cook according to package instructions (usually 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water).

          Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, layer 1 cup of cooked quinoa, followed by a scoop of black beans, corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

            Add the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, flake it into bite-sized pieces and place it on top of the bowl.

              Finish with Lime: Drizzle fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro. Add any optional toppings like salsa or Greek yogurt if desired.

                Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Salmon Burrito Bowl while warm!
