Ingredients

  • 16 ounces salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make mango slaw per instructions below and refrigerate for one hour before serving.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  • Prepare salmon by removing skin, if desired. Make a “basket” from heavy duty foil by cutting a large piece and rolling the sides to make edges. Place the salmon in the middle.
    16 ounces salmon fillets
  • Mix all other ingredients in a small bowl. Brush all over the salmon.
    2 tablespoons lime juice, ½ teaspoon lime zest, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon agave nectar, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, Salt + pepper
  • Place the foil basket of salmon on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes. Salmon will start to look a little charred on the edges.
  • Flip the salmon and cook about 4 minutes more, until done. Salmon will flake easily when cooked through. If using a meat thermometer, cook to at least 130F, then cover and rest before serving. Final temperature after resting should be 145F.
  • Flake the salmon and layer with mango slaw in warm tortillas.
