Brown sugar salmon w/ mango salad

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs fresh salmon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 mangoes, diced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup minced cilantro
• 0.25 cup minced red onion
• 0.5 jalapeño, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• salt

• 1.5 cups rice

Instructions

1. Mango salsa: Toss all ingredients in a bowl to combine.
2. Taste, adjust, try not to eat the whole bowl.
3. Cook your rice: Get your rice cooking according to package directions.
4. Get the oven ready: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
5. Line a baking sheet with foil.
6. Alternatively, you can set it to 500 degrees on the broil setting for medium rare with a yummy crispy top — the risk here is that you have to watch closely so it doesn't burn the sugar.
7. If taking this route, make sure one of the oven racks is close-ish to the top, about 6 inches or so.
8. Salmon: Mix the spices and the olive oil to make a paste.
9. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet.
10. Rub the paste liberally over the top part of the salmon.
11. Bake for 6-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon and your desired doneness.
12. Bowl it up: Pile up some rice, pull off some of salmon, and spoon that mango avocado salsa over the whole thing.
13. Add a lime squeezer for good measure.
