    QuantityIngredientAdd
    1 c. prepared pico de gallo
    3 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
    1 c. cooked Hy-Vee brown rice
    ½ c. reduced-sodium black beans, drained, rinsed
    2 tbsp. Newman's Own lime vinaigrette
    1 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
    12 oz. fresh salmon
    Hy-Vee coarse sea salt and fresh cracked Hy-Vee black pepper, to taste
