Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside the rub and preheat your broiler to high.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and generously coat with the spice rub, letting it penetrate.
Line a baking sheet with foil, arrange the salmon on it, and broil for 6 to 10 minutes until opaque and flaky.
In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, diced mango, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix gently to combine.
Assemble the bowls with rice, topped with salmon and the mango avocado salsa.

Notes

Check for doneness by ensuring the salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Watch closely under the broiler to avoid burning the spice rub. Feel free to customize the salsa with seasonal veggies or fruits and prep ahead by seasoning the salmon earlier in the day.
