Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 ears of corn, kernels removed OR 1 (15oz) can of corn drained
- 1 mango, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces OR 1 cup frozen mango thawed
- 1 shallot, chopped fine
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 (6oz) salmon filets
- 1 orange
- 12 corn or flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped fine
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped fine
- 2 avocados (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Make the spice rub by mixing together brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika and thyme in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the corn, mango and shallots to the baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp of the spice rub. Pour the salsa onto half of the baking sheet then roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While the salsa is roasting, prepare the salmon. Season each filet with salt and pepper, then rub the remaining spice rub evenly onto each filet. Squeeze the juice from 1/2 of the orange over each salmon filet. Cut the remaining orange half into thin slices, then cut each slice into quarters.
- When the salsa is done roasting, remove from the oven and use a spatula to toss. Add more oil if the salsa appears too dry.
- Place the salmon filets on top of the orange slices then top the filets with the remaining orange slices. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes for medium-rare salmon.
- While the salmon is cooking, warm up your corn tortillas (optional): Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 to 3 tortillas in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned. The tortillas should be soft, warm and bend easily. Set aside.
- When the salmon is done cooking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the basil and cilantro to the salsa and use a spatula to combine. Use a fork to shred the cooked salmon. Assemble your tacos as desired and top with avocado slices and your favorite sauces. Enjoy!
