Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 5-6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 3 medium, thinly sliced Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
- 1 whole, sliced Avocado slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) or preheat your oven to 400°F if baking.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x18 inches each) and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the fajita seasoning marinade.
Divide the bell pepper and red onion slices evenly among the four foil pieces, placing them in the center.
Place one salmon fillet on top of the vegetables in each foil packet.
Brush each salmon fillet generously with the fajita seasoning marinade, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the salmon and vegetables for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and vegetables, sealing each packet tightly to prevent leaks.
Place the packets on the grill, cooking for 15-18 minutes, or bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and transfer the salmon and vegetables to a serving plate.
Serve the salmon and vegetables with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, avocado slices, and additional lime wedges if desired.
