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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare 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
StepMake 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
StepWarm 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
StepGrill 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
StepFlake 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
StepWarm 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
StepAssemble 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
StepServe: 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!
