Avocado Salmon Rice Bowl

I made this!

D was out of town last week, so I tried to think of food he doesn't care for, and have it.  He doesn't like Salmon or a ton of lime, so this looked great.  Although I don't really like rice.  But I decided to try it.  What I got, was really good, if you like salmon, lime, AND cilantro.

There wasn't a lot of rice the way I made it, so I was good. I would have again. I might lessen the honey next time or just not use it in the rice.

Ingredients
Rice
1 cup Minute Rice Jasmine Rice (the microwaveable kind
Salt
1/2 lime, juice only
2 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp chicken or vegetable stock

Salmon:
1 lb salmon fillets skin on
1 Tbsp lime juice (I used 2 TBSP, which made it a little runny)
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
Salt to taste (didn't use)

Avocado Topping:
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp chili powder

Instructions 
Rice: Cook rice in the microwave. Preheat a medium cooking pan over medium-high heat. Mix stock, lime juice, honey, and cilantro together. Pour the mixture into the preheated pan and let it simmer for about a minute. Take the pan off heat and mix rice into the liquid. Season with a little bit more salt, mix well, and set aside.

Salmon: Preheat grill pan on medium.  Mix lime juice, honey, and cilantro together. Rub the salmon skin with some oil and place the fillets skin down on the heated pan for 4 minutes. Flip and  rub salmon fillets with the lime mixture on all exposed sides. (Some glaze will likely run down onto the pan, it will most likely get quite scorched).  Cook another 2 minutes.

Avocado: Cut avocado in half, take out the pit, and take off the skin. Chop avocado and add it to a small bowl. Add lime juice, cilantro, chili powder (you can add salt if you want). Gently mix.

To assemble the rice bowls: divide rice among two bowls, top it off with a salmon fillet, and top each bowl with half the avocado mixture.
