📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the salmon in a 9x13 inch pyrex pan and rub with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, curry powder, all-spice, cayenne, cinnamon and a pinch of salt + pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the salmon. Drizzle over the orange juice and lime juice. Cover and place the salmon in the fridge while you prepare the rice and salsa.

Pineapple Salsa
3
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Rub the pineapple with coconut oil and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Add the jalapeno. Roast for ⏱️ 20 minutes or until the pineapple is charred and caramelized. Turn the pineapple half way through cooking. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Once the pineapple is cool enough to handle, finely chop the pineapple and add to a bowl. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno, chop and add to the bowl with the pineapple. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro and a pinch of salt.

Plantain Rice

Remove the peels from the plantains and roughly chop them. Add the plantains to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and the plantains resemble rice. You can finely chop the plantains as well.

Add the coconut oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Once hot, add the plantain rice and fry until golden and crisp, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Once golden, remove from the heat and season with salt + pepper. Stir in the black beans and cilantro. Keep warm.
