🧂 Ingredients
Great tacos come down to balance — savory salmon, bright salsa, and warm tortillas that bring everything together.
To keep things simple, the ingredients are divided into three parts.
Salmon Seasoning
Cucumber Mango Salsa
Taco Assembly
Salmon
1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Juice of ½ lime
This seasoning blend helps the salmon develop a lightly caramelized crust while keeping the interior tender and flaky.
Cucumber Mango Salsa
1 ripe mango, diced
½ cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
Fresh cucumber appears in many light dishes because of its crisp texture. Recipes like Vegetarian Cucumber Hummus Rolls use the same cooling crunch to balance bold flavors.

8 small corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage (optional but recommended)
Extra chopped cilantro
Lime wedges
Corn tortillas add a lightly toasted flavor that pairs beautifully with seafood tacos.
