How to Make Salmon Tacos with Avocado Cream

Step 1: Marinated salmon

Place one side of the salmon skin in a large shallow baking dish and top with spices and lemon juice. Let’s sit in the marinade when you make avocado cresma and preheat the grill.

Step 2: Make Crema

Add all the avocado cresma ingredients to the blender and stir until smooth.

Step 3: Grilled Salmon

Heat your barbecue or indoor barbecue pan to 400 degrees Celsius. Make sure the lubrication is good so that the salmon don’t stick. Place salmon on one side of the skin on a grill or baking sheet and cook for 6-8 minutes. Use a spatula to flip carefully and cook for 6-8 minutes. Your salmon is ready when your salmon reaches 140 degrees F and flakes easily inside. Also, you can grill salmon in foil for about 15 minutes to minimally clean. Remove the salmon from the grill and let stand for a few minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the tacos

When the salmon is resting, carefully bring the tortillas to the grill. Cut the salmon into charred tortillas and blouse with avocado cream and any other desired topping top.

Suggestions made

These salmon tacos have only avocado flavor, but I wanted to add some other ingredients to help them build. Here are some ideas:

Homemade salsa (or green salsa!), or even pico de gallo
If you want to double the avocado, avocado or homemade avocado sauce!
Cheddar Cheese or Pepper Jack – Cotija works well too!
Fresh lemon juice or homemade hot sauce
Coriander and/or sliced radish
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Fresh or frozen corn (thawed first) or even beans (black beans, beans, etc…)
Jalapeno flakes are spicy! I love these pickled jalapenos.
Red cabbage or other greens.

FAQ

Can I grill salmon?

Absolutely! If you don’t have a grill or baking dish, you can easily bake the salmon. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the marinated salmon on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked to the desired concentration.

What type of salmon do I use?

No! You can use tilled or wild-fished salmon. Farmed salmon tends to have a somewhat lighter flavor, while wild salmon caught may be a little rich, but also higher in minerals such as zinc and iron. As for the salmon varieties, the King Salmon/Chinooks are higher in fat, while the fat and salmon are lower in fat. And Atlantic salmon, always plowed. The wild catch is higher, but it can lead to a richer flavor of fish tacos. Either it works well, so choose something you want or affordable.

Can I use another fish?

You can be sure that just note that cooking times will vary depending on the fish you choose, so make adjustments accordingly.

What type of tortilla should I use?

I personally like to use tortillas with tortillas, but you can easily use flour tortillas if you prefer. Note that only tortillas are gluten-free, while flour tortillas are not.

Do I have to use avocado cresma?

No, you are not, but I recommend using some of the other suggestions above, as your salmon tacos will end up being a little bland.

Storage instructions

Store roasted salmon in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the microwave or stove top. You can also make avocado cresma ahead of time, but be aware that over time it will oxidize and turn brown.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
