Easy Sheet Pan Salmon Tacos
Report
These Salmon Tacos are made on a sheet pan. They're easy, and so flavorful. I've paired them with a purple cabbage slaw and jalapeno mango crema.

Ingredients
- 8 taco shells small, soft
For the jalapeno mango crema
- 3 tbsp jalapeno pepper diced, pickled
- 1/3 cup Mango diced, ripe
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cilantro fresh
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
For the cabbage slaw
- 2 1/2 cups purple cabbage thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro fresh leaves
- 2 tbsp lime juice fresh
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
For the salmon
- 550-575 grams salmon filet 1.2 lbs, large
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika ground smoked
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the mango crema: Use a hand blender or small blender to combine pickled jalapeno, sour cream, mango, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if desired or more jalapeno for spice. Set aside.
- Make the slaw: Add all of the slaw ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Make the salmon seasoning: In a small bowl combine the olive oil, pressed garlic cloves, maple syrup, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Place the piece of salmon, skin side down on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Spread the seasoning mixture on the salmon with a brush (or back of a spoon).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the salmon is done to your desired doneness or measures 145F (it should flake easily with a fork).
- Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp brown sugar. Use a brulee torch to brulee the brown sugar on the salmon. Alternatively, put the oven to high broil and broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes until the brown sugar is bubbling.
- When the salmon is done, let sit for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to flake salmon into pieces and then assemble the tacos. Place some cabbage slaw followed by salmon pieces and a drizzle of mango crema on each taco. Enjoy immediately!
