Sweet Cumin Salmon with Tropical Rice

Adapted from Allrecipes

This dish was light and summery.  I love the mango rice mixture and the rub for the salmon gave it great flavor.  Aren't summer-y foods the best?  They are yummy, but leave you feeling healthy.  Love it. 

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbs cumin
• 1 Tbs packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
• 1 lb fillet fresh salmon
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 Tbs finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp lemon juice 

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Lightly grease a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Combine the cumin, brown sugar and lemon pepper seasoning in a small bowl and blend well.
• Place the salmon fillet skin side down in the prepared baking dish.  Sprinkle the fish evenly with the cumin spice mixture, gently pressing it into the fish.  Flip the fish over and repeat.  Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork. 
• Stir the mango, tomatoes, avocado and lemon juice into the rice.  Divide the rice evenly and place the salmon on top to serve.
