Notes
- Salmon can go from perfectly flaky to dry and tough in a matter of minutes, so it's important to keep a close eye on it while it's in the oven. I find that 15 minutes is just right for bite-sized pieces, but every oven is different, so adjust accordingly.
- Cold tortillas can really bring down the overall experience of your tacos. Take a few extra minutes to warm them up in the microwave or on a hot skillet before assembling your tacos.
- While the mango salsa is a delicious and classic pairing for these tacos, mix things up with other toppings like pineapple, pickled onions, or even a sprinkle of queso fresco. The more toppings, the merrier!
- If you decide to make these in the air fryer, you might need to halve the recipe or cook in batches.
