Salmon is a healthy and versatile fish that is easy to cook and can be paired with a variety of toppings. Mango salsa, in particular, adds a fresh and tropical twist to the dish. Made with ripe mangoes, jalapenos, red onions, cilantro, and lime juice, it is a burst of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors that work together perfectly!
Aside from its taste, salmon tacos with mango salsa are also a great meal option for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. Salmon is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while mango salsa is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. Together, they make for a nutrient-dense and satisfying meal that is sure to leave you feeling energized and satisfied. And we could all use more of that!
Love fish tacos, but short on time. You’ve got to try our fish stick tacos! Sounds crazy, but they’re a major favorite in our house.

Salmon – We need a pound of salmon that has been cut into four equal sized filets. We prefer fresh salmon, but frozen and thawed will also work.
You want to be sure to get a good cut of salmon for every salmon recipe. Do a color test, poke test, and smell test. On the color, the filets should be “salmon colored” or a orange shade of pink. For the poke, push down on the salmon with your finger. If it leaves a dent instead of coming back to shape, this isn’t the salmon for you! Last the smell test, if it smells murky, or rotten, leave it! You want fresh-smelling fish every time.
Seasoning– We’re keeping things simple, but flavorful with a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Tortillas – Corn tortillas work great for this recipe, but small flour tortillas will do in a pinch. We like to warm ours up on a skillet and keep them in a tortilla warmer.
Mango Salsa– Our fresh mango salsa really gives these salmon tacos a tropical flair! You’ll need avocados, mango, red onion, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
Recipe Tips!
Be sure to grab a ripe avocado and mango for the best flavor. Avocados should be firm, but give a bit when you squeeze them. You can also flick the little stem off and check the color underneath. It should be green.
For the mango, squeeze it to see if it is firm. It should give just a little when it is squeezed. If it doesn’t, it isn’t ready yet. The color is also important. It should be yellow or orange all over. Green mangoes are not quite ripe.
