Notes

Purchasing Salmon: For this recipe, I look for salmon fillets that are nice and thick so you can cube it! I usually cut the skin off and then cut into large cubes; I love the cube shape because they cook nice and evenly and make for a fun shape to squish apart in the taco. It’s also totally fine to just sprinkle your seasonings onto a thinner fillet and flake the fish apart to put into the tacos.

Salmon Doneness: People cook salmon to varying degrees of doneness depending on your preferences and the quality of the salmon. I like to cook it to medium well, where everything is almost totally cooked through but it’s nice and soft and slips apart easily when you press it with a fork. Here’s a guide with more info on cooking salmon and how to tell when it’s done.

Salsa Spiciness: As written, this salsa is not spicy at all, but ajalapeñowould be a great addition! I keep it mild for my kids, but if that is not your journey, go for the heat!

Tortillas:In the photos, I was using a thicker type of tortilla (corn and flour blend) that I charred in a dry cast iron skillet. When I usually make this, I use regular corn tortillas and I follow the recipe directions for softening them.

Taco Seasoning:All brands are different, but if you’re using a mild one and you want more going on with your salmon, sprinkle it with some extra chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. *chef’s kiss*

Air-Frying The Salmon: This would work well using this Air Fryer Salmon recipe. Just replaced the seasonings in that recipe with the taco seasoning in this one!
