  2. Place salmon fillets into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

  6. Surround the salmon with avocado, purple cabbage, corn, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions.
  7. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  8. Add lime wedges and cilantro atop each bowl, then serve warm or chilled.
