There is nothing quite like a fresh taco bowl to make your dinner feel a little more special. This recipe is a favorite in our house because it comes together quickly and tastes like a restaurant meal right in your own kitchen.

You can keep things simple with the base recipe or pile on your favorite extra toppings like sour cream or extra lime wedges. It is a fantastic option if you want to prep a healthy lunch for the next day as well.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup sofrito sauce
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and rub the taco seasoning evenly over all sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.

  3. 3

    Place the salmon in the hot pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan, stir the sofrito into your cooked rice and warm it over low heat for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Divide the warm sofrito rice into two bowls.

  6. 6

    Top each bowl with a salmon fillet, sliced avocado, salsa, green onions, and fresh cilantro.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover salmon and rice in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. If you like a bit of heat, add a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce before serving. You can also swap the rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice if you prefer a different base.
