SALMON TACOS WITH JUICY CITRUS SALSA

 

SALMON TACOS WITH JUICY CITRUS SALSA            yield:8 to 10 tacos

Zesty chili-rubbed salmon meets fresh orange avocado salsa to make the absolute best salmon tacos!  



INGREDIENTS

SALMON TACO INGREDIENTS:

·         1 ½ pounds boneless salmon filets

·         1 tablespoon chili powder

·         1 teaspoon ground cumin

·         ½ teaspoon dried oregano

·         ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

·         ¼ teaspoon black pepper

·         1 tablespoon olive oil

·         small corn or flour tortillas




JUICY CITRUS SALSA INGREDIENTS:

·         2 medium oranges, peeled and diced

·         1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

·         1 jalapeño, cored and finely diced

·         half of a small red onion, finely diced

·         1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed

·         1 lime, juiced (plus extras for serving)

 


INSTRUCTIONS

1.     Heat the oven.  Preheat the oven to 450°F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or grease with cooking spray; set aside.

2.     Prepare the salmon.  Whisk together the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and black pepper together in a small bowl until combined.  Lightly pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels.  Then place them in a single layer on the baking sheet, brush on all sides with oil, and sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mixture.  Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135-145°F*, about 4-6 minutes per half inch of thickness (measured by the thickest part of the filet).  You can also test for doneness by inserting a fork or knife in the salmon and twisting it a bit; the fish should be opaque and flake easily.

3.     Make the salsa. While your salmon is cooking, toss together the oranges, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl until combined.

4.     Assemble the tacos.  Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to roughly shred it into large pieces.  Add the salmon to your tortillas, top with a few spoonfuls of salsa (plus some extra cilantro if you would like)…and enjoy!
