Ingredients

Mojo Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Bowls:

  • 8-10 ounces wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 4-5 pineapple slices, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 ripe plantain, sliced
  • 1-1 1/2 cups white rice, cooked
  • 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 15 ounces cooked black beans
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

For the Bowl Toppings:

  • Lime wedges, 1 chopped green onion, handful of fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes, 1 sliced jalapeno (optional), paprika or cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the mojo sauce, whisk together the orange juice, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and olive oil. Pour the mojo sauce over the salmon fillets, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 415℉. Preheat a grill or indoor grill top.
  • For the bowls, bake the salmon on a baking sheet for 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the oil to the pineapple and plantain, and grill over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved marinade on top of the pineapple in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Place the rice in 1 large serving bowl or 3 to 4 separate bowls. Top with the salmon, grilled pineapple and plantains, avocado, tomato, and black beans. Add a squeeze of fresh lime. Season with salt and pepper. Top with green onion, cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes and jalapeño, if desired.
  • Sprinkle the bowls with a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper, if desired.
