Ingredients
Scale
Glaze
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Salmon & Tacos
- 1 pound fresh salmon
- 8 corn tortillas
Toppings
- 1 cup Mango Salsa
- ½ cup red cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup green cabbage, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F to ensure optimal cooking temperature for the salmon.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, chipotle powder, cumin, paprika, and chopped fresh cilantro until well combined to create a sweet and smoky glaze.
- Glaze the Salmon: Place the salmon in a foil basket or on a piece of foil, and generously cover it evenly with the prepared glaze, allowing the flavors to marinate slightly before cooking.
- Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon on the preheated grill or into the oven and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once cooked, shred the salmon with a fork and spoon it into warm corn tortillas, creating the base for your tacos.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle additional glaze over the shredded salmon, then top with fresh mango salsa and a mix of shredded red and green cabbage for crunch and freshness.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, try using fresh chipotle peppers in adobo sauce if available.
- You can substitute salmon with other firm fish like trout or cod if preferred.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly on the grill for enhanced flavor and pliability.
- Mango salsa can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and consumed within 2 days for best freshness.
