Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 6 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 large (diced) ripe mango
• 1 large (diced) avocado
• 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
• 2 whole (zested and juiced) lime
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 2 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, kale, arugula)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat an outdoor grill on medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Bake or grill the salmon fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango-avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, lime zest, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds to get a slight char. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 7

Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos: Place a handful of mixed greens on each tortilla. Add a few pieces of flaked salmon, then top with the mango-avocado salsa.

Step 9

Optional: Drizzle a spoonful of Greek yogurt over the top or mix the yogurt with a teaspoon of hot sauce for a spicy crema. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
