Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Red onion (1/4 cup, finely diced)
  • Tomato (1 medium, diced)
  • Avocado (1 large, diced)
  • Flour tortillas (8 small)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Taco seasoning (2 tablespoons)
  • Salmon fillets (1 pound)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the salmon fillets generously with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub to coat evenly.
  4. Place the salmon on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the avocado salsa. Mix gently to combine.
  7. Warm the flour tortillas either on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.
  8. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of avocado salsa on each tortilla, followed by the flaked salmon.
  9. Serve the salmon tacos with additional lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
