Sunset Salmon Tacos with Mango Salsa

A vibrant and flavorful take on tacos, featuring pan-seared salmon seasoned with cumin and paprika, topped with a fresh mango salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • For the Mango Salsa:
    • 1 ripe mango, diced
    • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the salsa: Combine the mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
  2. Season the salmon: In a separate bowl, toss the salmon pieces with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with a few pieces of cooked salmon and top with the mango salsa. Serve immediately.
