These easy Salmon Tacos are served with a Mango-Avocado Salsa and are packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a vibrant blend of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. The process is so easy! The seasoned salmon cubes roast quickly in the oven, while our bright, fresh salsa and creamy chili-lime sauce come together in just minutes. This is an excellent choice for a fast weeknight dinner or a casual gathering, where handheld meals always hit the spot.

Roasting the salmon cubes creates a tender, flaky texture while allowing the seasoning to slightly caramelize during the cooking process. The spice blend layers in bold flavors without overpowering the fish’s natural richness.

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

If salmon isn’t available or you prefer another protein, you can swap it for shrimp, cod, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.

For a slightly different flavor profile, try using pineapple or peaches instead of mango in the salsa, both of which offer a similar juicy sweetness.

If you’re not a fan of avocado, diced cucumber can add a refreshing crunch without the richness.

In the chili-lime sauce, sour cream can stand in for Greek yogurt, and for a completely dairy-free option, a plant-based yogurt or vegan mayo works well.

You can use flour tortillas or grain-free alternatives like almond flour tortillas to fit gluten-free needs.

For extra crunch, add thinly sliced radishes or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds on top.

If you want to spice it up even more, adding thinly sliced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce can give the tacos a bigger kick without much extra effort.
