Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Corn tortillas (for serving)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat while you prepare the salmon.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Step 3: Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Step 4: Place the marinated salmon on the grill or in the skillet and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 5: Remove the salmon from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces. Serve in warm corn tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover salmon tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- To reheat, gently warm the salmon in a skillet over low heat to prevent it from drying out, and quickly warm the tortillas to maintain their softness.
- Serve your Chile Lime Salmon Tacos with fresh avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of extra lime for added flavor and freshness.
- For an extra kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the marinade before brushing it on the salmon!
