Mexican-Style Salmon and Rice Bowls
with Tomato-Cucumber Salsa
For a scrumptious meal with a bit of Mexican flair, look no further. Juicy salmon is seasoned with Mexican seasoning and is nestled atop a steaming bed of zesty cilantro rice. A sprinkling of feta and drizzling of zippy sour cream-lime sauce dressing ties everything together for the perfect bite.

Instructions
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
