Instructions

Chili lime salmon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

Step 2

Place the salmon on a baking sheet and brush it with the grapeseed oil. In a bowl, stir together the paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic and lime zest.

Step 3

Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the salmon filet and press gently to adhere.

Step 4

Roast the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until just opaque and flakey with a fork.

Salad

Step 5

To assemble the salad, place the lettuce in a large bowl and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well – this is key to a flavorful salad!

Step 6

Add the remaining ingredients into the salad: the beans, peppers, mango, avocado, tomatoes, corn, cotija cheese, green onions and cilantro. Add on the salmon however you’d like – you can top the salad with the pieces of the filet or slice it up.

Step 7

Toss the salad with the chili lime dressing. Sprinkle on crushed tortilla chips.

Chili lime dressing

Step 8

In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, garlic, chili powder, cilantro and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stream in the olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified. This dressing stays great in the fridge for a few days!
