Ingredients
- 1 pound Salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Tacos
- corn tortillas
- cabbage shredded
- avocado sliced
- cilantro chopped
- queso fresco crumbled
- crema
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a baking sheet with oil and place the salmon on the sheet, skin side down.
- In a small bowl combine the chipotle chili powder, chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders.
- Drizzle the avocado oil on top of the salmon filet and spread to coat the surface of the salmon.
- Sprinkle the seasonings on top in an even layer. Use your hands as needed to ensure the top of the salmon is coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake the salmon for approximately 14 minutes or until cooked through. Salmon is done when it is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the oven, slice or flake the salmon into chunks, discarding the skin, and assemble the tacos.
- Warm the tortillas on a skillet or over a gas burner, char the edges of the tortillas if desired. Warming the tortillas prevents them from breaking.
- Layer cabbage, the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco and top with a drizzle of crema.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes
- Storage: Store leftover salmon in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To Reheat: bake leftover salmon on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F.
- Freezing: it is not recommended to freeze cooked salmon since this would change the flavor and texture of the fish.
