Avocado Corn Salsa

Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the salmon marinade in a bowl. Add in the chunks of salmon and toss together until they're coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes while the salmon marinates.
- While the salmon is marinating cook the rice according to package instructions.
- To make the corn avocado salsa, combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and gently toss them together. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and lime juice as needed.
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Dump the salmon onto the baking sheet and spread it into a single layer. Bake for 7-12 minutes or until opaque and flaky.
- To assemble the bowls, add a 1/2 cup of rice to a bowl. Top with some of the salmon and salsa. Garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.

Notes
- If you can't find queso fresco, cotija can be used instead. It's saltier so you may not want to use as much.
