Spiced Salmon Tacos with Avocado-Mango Salsa

A vibrant and flavorful twist on classic tacos, featuring seared salmon infused with warm spices and a refreshing avocado-mango salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Avocado-Mango Salsa:
    • 1 ripe mango, diced
    • 1 avocado, diced
    • ½ red onion, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
    • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry and season it generously with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  3. While the salmon cooks, prepare the avocado-mango salsa by combining all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, until pliable.
  5. Flake the cooked salmon and divide it evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with the avocado-mango salsa.
