These Salmon Tacos are a weeknight staple.
I love meals, like these salmon tacos, that appear impressive ,but are one of the quickest meals out there. The salmon is broiled for less than 10-minutes, and the cilantro lime sauce is so easy. I strongly suggest taking an extra 10 minutes to make your own corn tortillas while the salmon is cooking; it truly makes such a big difference! If you want over-the-top goodness, whip up so quick pickled red onions for topping. Include those details and these are one of my favorite tacos of all time (along with my favorite chicken street tacos, of course).
How to make Salmon Tacos:
Cook Salmon: Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Rub oil all over top of salmon flesh. In a small bowl, combine spices and lime zest. Rub mixture onto flesh of salmon. Broil on upper middle rack for 8 to 10 minutes (140 degrees on a thermometer) or until salmon flakes with a fork. Remove from oven and tent with foil to rest.
Make Cilantro Lime Sauce: Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend cilantro lime sauce until smooth.
Assemble Tacos: Warm corn tortillas on a hot, dry skillet, flipping once. Break salmon into pieces then place a spoonful of salmon on a tortilla. Top with cabbage, pickled onions, sauce, and cilantro. Spritz with fresh lime juice and add hot sauce if desired.
