  • While quinoa is cooking, mix spicy mayo dressing ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan on medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper and lemon juice if desired.
  • Add oil to the pan when it is hot and then place in salmon, skin side.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Slice cucumbers and grate carrots. Cut avocado in half and take out the pit.
  • Divide quinoa into two bowls. Top with salmon and veggies. Drizzle spicy mayo over top and add any extra toppings.
