Preheat the oven to 375.

To a medium-sized saucepan, add the rice and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes or until nearly all of the moisture has absorbed.

Set aside the rice for 5 minutes.

While the rice cools, grease a 9x9 baking dish with avocado oil and add the salmon to the baking dish skin-side-down.

Drizzle the salmon with about 1 teaspoon more avocado oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and spices evenly onto the salmon and drizzle with maple syrup, rubbing the spices and syrup into the salmon with a spoon or your hands, ensuring that you coat the sides as well.

Bake the salmon for 20 minutes.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add the olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the salmon has baked, assemble the bowls with a couple scoops of cilantro lime rice, a serving of salmon, black beans, pickled red onions, avocado slices, and more chopped fresh cilantro.
