Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 lb fresh salmon fillet

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 medium tomato, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 cup baby spinach

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

    Cook the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, coat the salmon fillets with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then break it into bite-sized pieces.

      Prepare the Toppings: While the salmon is baking, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, combine corn, black beans, diced avocado, diced tomato, red onion, spinach, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently until well-combined and set aside.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl or several smaller bowls, start with a base of quinoa. Top the quinoa with the baked salmon, followed by the corn and bean mixture.

          Add Condiments: Drizzle Greek yogurt or sour cream on top, and if desired, add salsa, hot sauce, or crumbled feta cheese for additional flavor.

            Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and nutritious Salmon Burrito Bowl while fresh! You can also store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
