Description

Bold, zesty, and smoky—these Chipotle Lime Salmon Tacos bring fresh, fiery flavor in every bite. A perfect fusion of heat and citrus wrapped in a warm tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (skin removed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Juice and zest of 2 limes
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn tortillas
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice (for sauce)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, lime zest and juice, salt, and pepper.
Brush the spice mixture over the salmon fillets.
Place salmon on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.
While the salmon bakes, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime juice to make a quick sauce.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Flake the cooked salmon and assemble tacos with cabbage, salmon, avocado slices, cilantro, and a drizzle of lime sauce.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Adjust chipotle level to taste. For extra crunch, lightly toast tortillas before assembling.
