Best 8 Amazing Salmon Tacos Recipes

AMAZING SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• Toss cubed salmon in cumin and chili powder. Set aside.
• Heat large skillet over medium and cook yellow onion 2 minutes, until it begins to soften.
• Turn heat up to medium high. Add salmon to skillet. Lightly sear salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently (don't break the salmon into pieces!).
• IMPORTANT: Do not over cook the salmon. This juicy recipe will keep steaming the salmon. The salmon should still be firm in the middle of the cube when you proceed to the next step.
• Return heat setting to medium. Add canned tomatoes and chilies, cilantro and green onions. Gently incorporate and heat through.
• Squeeze quartered limes over the salmon mixture, give it a quick stir, and plate up the salmon (I usually drain a little liquid off at this point).
• Serve with warm flour tortillas, quality salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, and crisp romaine lettuce.

ROASTED SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• At least an hour before you plan to serve the tacos, toss the cabbage, cucumber, vinegar, dill, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate, allowing the cabbage to marinate.
• When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Brush a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon in it. Mix the chile powder, lime zest, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and sprinkle with the chipotle seasoning mixture. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the salmon is just cooked through.
• Wrap the tortillas in 2 foil packets and place them in the oven with the salmon. Roughly mash the avocados with the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, the Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• To serve, lay 2 warm tortillas on each of 6 plates. Place a dollop of the avocado mixture on one side of each tortilla, then some large chunks of salmon, and finally, some of the slaw. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling (they will be messy!) and serve warm.

SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare the slaw: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado, Greek yogurt, and olive oil together until mostly smooth.
• Stir in the salt, lime zest and juice, and hot sauce.
• Stir in the slaw and cilantro. Taste and adjust hot sauce and salt as desired. Cover with plastic, pressing the plastic against the top of the mixture to deter the avocado from browning, and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The slaw can sit for several hours and will taste better if it rests for at least 1 hour; if you don't have time, the resting while you prep the salmon will still give you good results.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold the salmon with parchment paper or foil. Place the salmon in the center and pat dry. Brush the top of the salmon with the oil.
• In a small bowl, stir together the chipotle powder, garlic powder, lime zest, and salt.
• With a small spoon, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the salmon. (Reserve the zested lime for serving).
• Transfer the dish to the oven and bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish (a 1-inch fillet will take around 12 minutes), until the salmon is just cooked through and reaches 140 to 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer (fish is done at 145; once mine hits 140, I remove it to a plate, cover it, and let it rest for several minutes; the carryover cooking will finish the rest).
• Cut the zested lime in half or into quarters and squeeze the juice over the top of the salmon. To serve, pile the salmon and slaw into the warmed tortillas. Top with cheese. Enjoy warm, with a dash of extra hot sauce as desired.

• Bake salmon in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Flake into smaller pieces with a fork.
• Mix corn, black beans, tomato, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl to make salsa.
• Arrange corn tortillas on a baking sheet.

EASY SALMON TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the tops of the filets with the homemade taco seasoning.
• Place the seasoned salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
• While baking, prepare any desired toppings.
• Remove salmon from the oven. Test for doneness by flaking with a fork to check the interior of the salmon filet. If the fish flakes and is no longer red on the inside it is done.
• Serve right away while warm with corn or flour tortillas and desired toppings.

Cover, and microwave on high 7 minutes, until fish is cooked through. Pour off any liquid from dish; using a fork, flake fish.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together sour cream, remaining tablespoon lime juice, and remaining 3/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stack tortillas between 2 white paper towels. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, or until warmed through. Arrange lettuce and carrots down center of each tortilla; top with salmon. Drizzle lightly with sauce, and fold in half. Serve 2 tacos per person, with remaining sauce.

SALMON TACOS WITH MANGO SALSA

• Heat tortillas in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Divide salmon among tortillas. Top with mango salsa, special sauce, shredded cabbage, avocados, and remaining cilantro. Wrap up tacos and serve lime wedges alongside.
