Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time21 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (7 oz.) box yellow rice
  • 1 ½ lbs. salmon, cut in ½ inch cubes (see notes)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (or chopped baby spinach or shredded cabbage)

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package instructions.

  • Season the salmon cubes with the taco seasoning and toss well to coat all sides.
  • Cook the salmon in the Air Fryer at 350 for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. Or if using the oven, cook at 400 for 10 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Divide the cooked rice between 4 bowls. Divide the salmon and black beans among the 4 bowls. Top with the shredded lettuce and desired toppings. Add a drizzle of cilantro lime or other vinaigrette. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Dressing: This is my favorite creamy cilantro lime dressing that takes just minutes to make in a blender.
Leftovers: You can store leftover rice, beans and salmon together in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Store the lettuce and any toppings separately. Reheat the salmon bowl portion in the microwave and then add the lettuce and toppings.
