Instructions

Set the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Brush each salmon fillet generously with the prepared glaze, reserving some for later. Arrange fillets on the lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
While salmon bakes, combine Greek yogurt or sour cream with lime juice, honey, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with baked salmon, corn kernels, black beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion.
Drizzle reserved glaze and creamy sauce over the bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve alongside lime wedges.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more chipotle peppers to the glaze.
