Today’s Culinary Invention: Spicy Mango Salmon Tacos

As summer is in full swing, I find myself craving light and refreshing meals that still pack a punch of flavor. That’s why I decided to create a recipe for Spicy Mango Salmon Tacos that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of jalapeños, all nestled in flaky salmon and wrapped in a warm tortilla.

To make these delicious tacos, you will need the following ingredients (approximate weights included):

  • 400g salmon fillets
  • 1 large ripe mango
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro
  • 4 tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • baking sheet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grill pan
  • mixing bowl
  • citrus juicer

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. Dice the ripe mango, jalapeño, and red onion, then finely chop the cilantro. Combine these ingredients in a mixing bowl and squeeze the juice of the lime over the top. Mix well to combine and season with salt to taste.

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and warm the tortillas on both sides until they are soft and pliable.

To assemble the tacos, spoon some of the flaked salmon onto each tortilla, then top with a generous helping of mango salsa. Serve the tacos warm, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Salmon Tacos is estimated to be around 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to char the tortillas slightly on an open flame before assembling the tacos. This will impart a delicious smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the mango salsa perfectly.

I highly recommend giving these Spicy Mango Salmon Tacos a try for a unique and flavorful meal. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or additional spices to make it your own. Enjoy!
