Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1-2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillet cut into 4 pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 corn tortillas
- salt
- Lime wedges
For the Avocado Mango Salsa
- 2 avocados diced
- 1 Mango diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Fresh lime juice and extra limes for garnish
Toppings
- shredded red cabbage
- chipotles in adobo
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Rub each piece of salmon with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and dust with the chipotle powder. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a grill pan. Season the salmon with salt and grill over high heat until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked salmon.
- While the salmon is cooking, combine the diced avocado, mango and cilantro in a small bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice.
- Combine some of the sour cream and a few teaspoons of the liquid from the chipotles in adobo in a bowl and whisk to combine for a spicy crema. Char the tortillas until slightly darkened.
- Gently break each piece of salmon into large chunks and evenly distribute in the tortillas on top of a little bit of shredded cabbage. Add equal amounts of the salsa and serve as needed with the chipotle crema drizzled on top.

Notes
- If you don't have a grill, or want to do the salmon in the oven... preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and cook for 15-20 minutes until cooked through!
