Instructions 

  1. To a large bowl, add the cubed salmon, olive oil, chipotle adobo paste, garlic, chili powder, salt, coriander, cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Mix all together to coat the salmon evenly in the marinade.

    Made these salmon bowls for our first iftar last night and they were delicious! I didn’t have any chipotle adobo sauce on hand nor was there enough time to run out and get some. I added a bit of chili garlic sauce to the salmon as I seared it on the stovetop. It wasn’t adobo sauce but it kept the salmon from getting too dry. We are looking fwd to leftovers tonight for iftar 😋

    I made these tonight with some wild Alaskan Sockeye from our subscription with the Alaskan Seafood Guys. They were delicious and easy (and healthy). I definitely will make this again.

    To anyone considering making this, DO IT! Thank you so much for this recipe. It was AMAZING. I followed the recipe exactly except for using feta cheese instead of cotija. It ended up being a very flavorful, balanced dinner. 10/10 would recommend.
