There is something so satisfying about a bowl that brings together savory, sweet, and tangy ingredients all in one go. The mojo marinade gives the salmon a bright citrus kick that pairs perfectly with hearty black beans and fresh fruit.

I love making these for a quick weeknight dinner because they feel fancy but come together without much fuss. If you want to save time, you can prep the mojo sauce and the beans the night before so you just have to sear the salmon when you are ready to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, and cumin in a small bowl to make your mojo marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let the fish sit for about 15 minutes while you get the other ingredients ready.

  3. 3

    Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    While the salmon cooks, gently warm the black beans in a small pot with the remaining mojo sauce.

  5. 5

    To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice into two bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, a scoop of black beans, diced pineapple, and fresh avocado slices.

  6. 6

    Garnish your bowls with red onion and plenty of fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. To keep the avocado fresh, add it right before you are ready to eat. These bowls also taste great cold if you prefer a refreshing lunch on a hot day.
