Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub to coat evenly.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- Warm the flour tortillas either on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of avocado salsa on each tortilla, followed by the flaked salmon.
- Serve the salmon tacos with additional lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
Tips
- For an added kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the tacos.
- Feel free to substitute the salmon with grilled shrimp or chicken for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer corn tortillas, they work wonderfully too, just warm them up to prevent cracking.
