Ingredients

For the Marinade:

  • 4 Salmon Filets approximately 6 oz each
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 lime juiced

For the Salsa:

  • 1 cup Pineapple Tidbits drained
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 Red Onion chopped
  • 2 Avocados diced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

For the Tacos:

  • 8 Flour Tortillas 6 inch
  • 1 cup Red Cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup Cojita Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each). In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and the juice from 1 lime. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto the salmon fillets.
  • Place the seasoned salmon filets on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the grill and flake the salmon into large pieces.
  • While the salmon cooks, prepare the salsa by gently stirring together 1 cup drained pineapple tidbits, 2 diced Roma tomatoes, ½ chopped red onion, 2 diced avocados, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, the juice from 1 lime, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  • Then it's time to assemble the tacos. Warm the tortillas by either heating them in the microwave or grilling them for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
  • Place 1 cup shredded red cabbage evenly onto the tortillas. Top with the flaked salmon, pineapple salsa, and ½ cup Cotija cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

These tacos are best served fresh, but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
