¼ cup corn
2 tbsps. Mexican cheese shredded
¼ cup diced tomatoes fresh

The Salmon

1 8 oz. salmon fillet
2 tsps. olive oil

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.
