Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons chili onion crisp
1 ripe mango, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
Juice of 1 lime
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Salt, to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions and keep warm.
2. In a medium bowl, mix mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. Pat the salmon fillets dry, season lightly with salt, and heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear salmon skin-side down (or presentation side) until crispy, then flip and cook until just opaque in the center.
5. Spoon chili onion crisp over salmon in the pan to coat with sizzling flavor.
6. Assemble bowls with rice on the bottom, top with salmon, spoon over the avocado mango salsa, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.
Notes
For maximum flavor, allow the mango salsa to sit for 10 minutes before serving so the lime juice and cilantro infuse the fruit.
If you want extra spice, drizzle more chili onion crisp over the finished bowl just before serving.
