- 1 TBSP maple syrup
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- salt (to taste)

For the Rice Bowls
- 2 cups cooked rice (or quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 1 cucumber (sliced)
- mixed greens of choice (spinach, arugula, etc.)
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 limes (juiced)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1 TBSP honey (or less, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for the salmon marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each filet is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, assemble the rice bowls. Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls and arrange sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and mixed greens on top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the cilantro lime dressing: olive oil, lime juice, greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, garlic, salt, black pepper, and honey (if desired).
- Place the cooked salmon on each rice bowl.
- Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the rice bowls and enjoy!
