Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine mangoes, peaches, poblano peppers, red onion, juice of 1/2 a lime, and 1/2 the cilantro in a large bowl to make mango salsa. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make special sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange tortillas on a baking sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat; coat with cooking spray. Cook salmon until easily flaked with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and flake into smaller pieces with a fork.

  5. Step 5

    Heat tortillas in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide salmon among tortillas. Top with mango salsa, special sauce, shredded cabbage, avocados, and remaining cilantro. Wrap up tacos and serve lime wedges alongside.

Note

For best results, ensure the salmon is well-seasoned and cooked just until it flakes easily with a fork. Fresh mango salsa adds a vibrant, tropical flavor, so use ripe mangoes for the sweetest taste. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a touch of finely chopped jalapeño to the salsa.

Expand All:
What kind of mango should I use for the salsa?
