  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While it's heating, brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season them with chili powder and garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: Place the seasoned salmon on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the pineapple avocado salsa by combining the diced pineapple, avocado, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Gently mix to combine and season with salt to taste.
  4. Step 4: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a minute. Then, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Step 5: To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with flaked salmon and top with a generous spoonful of pineapple avocado salsa. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover salmon and salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the salmon, gently warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture without drying it out.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, serve your tacos with lime wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze fresh juice over their tacos before enjoying.
  • When seasoning the salmon, feel free to adjust the chili powder to your spice preference or add a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra depth of flavor!
