Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust for heat preference)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt, to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas (warm before serving)
  • Optional: crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
  • Optional: sour cream or crema

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to form a spice rub.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry and coat evenly with the spice rub. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently toss diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add lime juice and salt, stir carefully to combine without mashing avocado. Set aside.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and flaky, avoiding moving them too soon to get a good sear.
  6. Warm tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly charred. Keep warm wrapped in a towel.
  7. Break grilled salmon into large chunks and divide among tortillas. Top with mango avocado salsa and optional queso fresco or sour cream.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and vibrant.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear. Oil grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Prepare salsa just before serving to keep avocado fresh. Avoid overcooking salmon; it should flake gently but remain moist. Leftovers can be stored separately and reheated gently.
