- 1 1/2 lb salmon, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Place the salmon cubes in a large bowl. Pour half of the dressing overtop and toss to combine. Let sit 10 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours covered in the fridge.
Spread the salmon on a large baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes until desired doneness is achieved. If desired, switch the broiler to high for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp the tops.
Meanwhile, make the salsa. Toss together the avocado, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, tequila (if using) and a pinch of salt.
Serve salmon and salsa over bowls of steamed rice, with additional dressing on the side. Highly recommend you fucken douse your salmon in the chipotle vinaigrette. Bruh.
