Oh my goodness have I got a taco recipe for you today! You all know by now my love for salmon. Salmon is hands down my favorite fish. I eat it 2-3 times a week at my house and it has so many health benefits like omega 3 fatty acids and DHA and EPA which help to prevent against a stroke. I eat salmon so many different ways but grilled and stuffed into a taco might just be a new favorite.
With the heat of summer in full swing at our house, grilling season is a must! We spend so many summer nights outside as a family and grilling is a favorite thing to do. My hubby always knows that salmon is apart of our summer grilling. Salmon is so easy to grill and ready in just minutes. Don’t be intimidated by it one bit! One of my favorite ways to grill salmon is on cedar planks. But you can grill salmon on aluminum foil, or even directly on a well oiled grill. I love the smoky flavor that it adds to the salmon and it grills to tender and flaky perfection.
Let’s just talk about this spice rub. It is incredible on top of this salmon and forms such a flavorful spicy crust on top of the fillets. It has chili powder, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, just to name a few of the spices that help bring out big and bold flavor in this salmon. You are going to love it.
While the salmon is on the grill you make this incredible grilled pineapple salsa. I absolutely adore grilled pineapple and it is one of my favorite things to grill. It gives the pineapple a smoky flavor while keeping it sweet and juicy and only takes just a few minutes to grill. You add some freshly diced tomatoes, red onion, and avocado and you will have an amazing out of this world salsa to go on top of the tacos.
When it comes time to assemble the tacos, the salmon has been grilled to perfection and flakes perfectly. It is just the perfect thing inside of the tacos and the pineapple avocado salsa… OMG!!
You are going to fall in love with these tacos with the very first bite. The flavors going on in these tacos will blow you away. You get the spicy flavor from the salmon and the cool and sweet flavors in the pineapple from the salsa. Oh man. These are incredible.
I 100% know you are going to love these just as much as we did! If you are looking for a healthy and fresh grilling recipe, this one is just for you! It is a must to make for your next backyard BBQ and you are going to enjoy grilling salmon just as much as our family does.
