Chili Salmon Mango Bowl (Print Version)

Spicy salmon hot from the oven hangs out on fluffy rice, with smooth avocado mango salsa and a sprinkle of sesame for some crunch.

# Ingredients:

→ Salmon

01 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
02 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
03 - 1 teaspoon ginger powder
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
06 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
07 - 2 tablespoons chili crisp
08 - 2 pieces salmon, each about 170 g

→ Avocado Mango Salsa

09 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
10 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
11 - 0.5 cup finely diced red onion
12 - 1 medium mango
13 - 1 ripe avocado

→ To Serve

14 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
15 - 2 cups rice, already cooked

# Steps:

01 - Dig in while the bowls are nice and warm.
02 - Scoop a good spoonful of salsa over each piece of salmon and finish with a pinch of sesame seeds.
03 - Set some hot rice into each bowl and place a piece of salmon on top.
04 - Let the salmon hang out at room temp for a couple minutes when it comes out of the oven.
05 - Drizzle in the lime juice and cilantro, then gently mix everything together.
06 - Chop your onion nice and small while salmon's cooking, cube the mango and avocado, toss them together in a bowl with the onion.
07 - Carefully pull the hot baking tray out, set your salmon skin down on it, and bake for about 12–15 minutes. You'll know it's done when it easily flakes apart with a fork.
08 - Spread one tablespoon of chili crisp over the top of each salmon piece and get it all covered.
09 - Dust both sides of the salmon fillets with sea salt, black pepper, garlic and ginger powders.
10 - Dry off the salmon with a paper towel, then rub olive oil all over them.
11 - Pop your oven on to 200°C and heat up a lined baking tray in there while it warms.

# Notes:

01 - Pat your salmon super dry first so you end up with crispy skin.
02 - Go easy on the chili crisp if you want things less spicy.
03 - Give sesame seeds a quick toast in a dry pan to bring out their nutty flavor.
04 - Try jasmine or brown rice if you want to switch things up.
05 - Swap in tuna or chicken fillets for something different.
