Description
Crispy BBQ Salmon Tacos are a delicious and flavorful dish featuring baked salmon fillets topped with fresh ingredients and served in warm corn tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the salmon with BBQ sauce.
- While the salmon is baking, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until warm and pliable.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the flaked salmon, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top of the tacos.
- You can also substitute the salmon with grilled shrimp or chicken for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top before serving.
