Ancho Salmon with Corn Relish and Avocado Rice
4 servings
40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ancho (or chili) powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin removed (about 1 ½ lb)
  • 1 tablespoon + ¼ cup canola oil, divided
  • 2 ears yellow corn
  • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper
  • 2 ripe Hass avocados (or 1 green avocado)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen riced cauliflower

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Combine ancho powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt on plate. Coat salmon with 1 tablespoon oil, then press both sides of fillets into ancho mixture until evenly coated (wash hands).
    2. Place corn on grill; cook 8 minutes, turning occasionally, then move to indirect heat and cook 6 more minutes or until crisp-tender. Place salmon on grill with corn; cook 3–4 minutes on each side until centers of fillets flake easily and are 145°F.
    3. Chop cilantro (¼ cup), green onions, and jalapeño, discarding seeds and membranes if desired. Halve avocados, scoop out flesh, and cut into small cubes (about 2 cups).
    4. Combine in medium bowl: cilantro, green onions, jalapeños, honey, lime juice, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt; whisk in remaining ¼ cup oil until blended. Remove corn kernels from cobs; add to bowl and stir to combine.
    5. Microwave cauliflower rice following package instructions; stir (fold) avocado cubes gently into rice. Divide rice among serving plates; top with salmon and corn relish. Serve.
