Instructions
- Preheat grill or oven broiler (with the rack 3 inches from heat source) on high temperature.
- Prepare taco filling by combining all ingredients. Let stand for 10–15 minutes to blend the flavors.
- To prepare the marinade, combine the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt in a bowl.
- Place salmon fillets in a flat dish with sides. Pour marinade evenly over fillets.
- Place salmon fillets on grill or broiler. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until fish flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part (minimum internal temperature of 145 °F). Remove from the heat and set aside for 2–3 minutes. Cut into strips.
- To make each taco, fill one tortilla with ¾ cup filling and one salmon fillet.
