Creating these flavorful tacos is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure delicious results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Season the Salmon: Drizzle olive oil over the fillets. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper evenly across the salmon.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Make the Salsa: While the salmon is baking, combine diced avocado, diced mango, chopped red onion, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Gently mix to incorporate all ingredients.
6. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. Assemble the Tacos: Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
8. Fill the Tacos: Place some of the flaked salmon into each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the avocado mango salsa.
9. Garnish: Add extra cilantro on top for garnish, if desired.
10. Serve: Enjoy your crispy BBQ salmon tacos immediately while they’re warm!
