Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
  4. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the salmon with BBQ sauce.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
