Ingredients

For The Bowl

  • ½ whole avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup corn
  • 2 tbsps. Mexican cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes fresh
  • ¼ cup black beans
  • 4-6 pieces blue corn tortilla chips
  • 1 cup lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup multi colored bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ cup red onion sliced
  • 3-4 tbsps. taco flavored ranch dressing or your favorite
  • cilantro leaves for garnishing

The Salmon

  • 1 8 oz. salmon fillet
  • 2 tsps. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. taco seasoning
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  • To prepare the salmon, season with the salt, taco seasoning, and lemon juice. In a non-stick pan over medium high heat, add the olive oil and pan sear the salmon until full cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil wrap.
  • In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers and onion until tender. Set aside to cool down a little.
  • To assemble the bowl, start by placing the lettuce in a shallow bowl. Then start placing all the other ingredients next to each other to assemble everything together.
  • Drizzle the salad with your favorite dressing and enjoy.

Notes

  • Feel free to scale this recipe up to make multiple bowls for the whole family.
  • The less you flip the salmon in the pan, the better. This will help keep the salmon from falling apart and it gives the salmon a delicious crispy sear.
  • Make sure the pan is hot before adding the salmon to it for a crispy exterior. 
  • Want to make this more hearty? Serve it with rice or quinoa.
  • Salmon is cooked through when its internal temperature is of a minimum of ​​120°F or when the salmon flakes when you run a fork through it.
