# Instructions:
01 -
Combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For optimal texture, add avocado just before serving if making in advance.
02 -
In a small bowl, blend sour cream, lime juice, honey, and chopped cilantro until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until service.
03 -
Set oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray.
04 -
Slice salmon into 2.5–4 cm pieces. Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add coconut sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and salt. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat the salmon.
05 -
Arrange salmon pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side, or to preferred doneness.
06 -
To serve, add a layer of cooked white rice to each bowl. Top with barbecue salmon and generous spoonfuls of mango salsa. Finish with a dollop of crema and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For meal preparation, mango salsa can be made ahead, but add avocado just before serving to preserve freshness.
02 -
Crema is optional for a lighter dairy-free or vegan adaptation.
