Ingredients:
- 4 thawed frozen or fresh wild caught salmon fillets (approx. 6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 7 oz (we used half of a 14 oz bag) of cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix
- 1 red bell pepper finely diced
- 1/4 C poppyseed dressing
- 1/4 C avocado mayo
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- premade mango salsa
- 2-3 chopped green onions
- 8-12 corn tortillas
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400ā„‰ and prepare a baking pan by coating it with 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil.
- Arrange the salmon fillets in the prepared pan skin side down. Rub the remaining 1 tbsp of avocado or olive oil on the face up sides of the salmon fillets. Sprinkle the fillets with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Bake the salmon for 15-18 minutes or until flaky. Remove from oven and use a fork to separate into medium flaky pieces and remove from skin.
- While the salmon is baking, combine the coleslaw mix and chopped bell pepper in a bowl. Add poppyseed dressing, avocado mayo and smoked paprika. Stir until well mixed.
- Warm the corn tortilla for a few minutes in the oven after the salmon has baked.
- Assemble tacos by adding salmon pieces, slaw mix and your favorite store bought mango salsa. Top with green onions.
- Enjoy
