Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Mango Salsa.
Step 1
Start by creating a vibrant mango salsa that will elevate your tacos.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together diced mangoes, juicy peaches, diced poblano peppers, and finely chopped red onion.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture and stir in half of the chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but if you can, let it sit overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
Next, whip up a creamy special sauce that will add a delightful kick to your tacos.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Mix it well until everything is blended into a smooth, zesty sauce.
Step 8
Now, let’s get cooking! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lay out the tortillas on a baking sheet, ready to be warmed.
Step 9
While the oven is heating, grab a grill pan and set it over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray, then add the salmon fillets.
Step 11
Cook them for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they flake easily with a fork.
Step 12
Once done, transfer the salmon to a plate and gently flake it into smaller pieces, letting the delicious aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 13
After about 5 minutes in the oven, your tortillas should be warm and ready to hold all those tasty fillings.
Step 14
To assemble your tacos, take a warmed tortilla and generously fill it with the flaked salmon.
Step 15
Top it off with a spoonful of your homemade mango salsa, a drizzle of the special sauce, a handful of shredded cabbage for crunch, and a few slices of creamy avocado.
Step 16
Don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top for that extra pop of flavor.
Step 17
Wrap up your tacos and serve them with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Step 18
Enjoy every bite of this colorful, flavorful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
