Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a large bowl, gently combine the diced mangoes, peaches, poblano peppers, red onion, juice of 1/2 a lime, and half of the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (1 hour+)

02

Step

Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. (5 mins)

03

Step

Warm the Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the corn tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer. (2 mins)

04

Step

Grill the Salmon: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. (10 mins)

05

Step

Flake the Salmon: Transfer the grilled salmon to a plate and use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces. Discard the skin if desired.

06

Step

Warm the Tortillas: Place the baking sheet with tortillas in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes. This will make them pliable and easier to fill. (5 mins)

07

Step

Assemble the Tacos: Divide the flaked salmon evenly among the warmed corn tortillas. Top with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa, a drizzle of the special sauce, a sprinkle of shredded cabbage, and slices of fresh avocado. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.

08

Step

Serve: Serve the Salmon Tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos to add an extra burst of citrusy flavor. Enjoy!

For a spicier salsa, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely minced jalapeño pepper.
If you don't have access to a grill, you can pan-sear the salmon in a skillet with a little olive oil.
To prevent the tortillas from tearing, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side instead of baking.
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients, such as pickled onions, crumbled cotija cheese, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
The mango salsa can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
The special sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
