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:

  1. Preheat oven to 400ā„‰ and prepare a baking pan by coating it with 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
  5. Warm the corn tortilla for a few minutes in the oven after the salmon has baked.
  6. Assemble tacos by adding salmon pieces, slaw mix and your favorite store bought mango salsa. Top with green onions.
  7. Enjoy
